Thanks, that MPG seems really low, do you know how much you were getting before the new tires?

I just put 35" Nitto Trail Grapplers on my new JLUS with the 8spd auto.. I had the vehicle for about 1.5 weeks and was getting around 22.5 avg. With the 35" tires on a holiday weekend in heavy traffic I was getting 17.5.

His wheel/tire weight is 97lbs as per internet specs. Add to that the extra 2/10 inch width due to the 315 size and you can expect mpg to drop close to 4 mpg.

I'm lucky to get 20mpg highway on the stock 33s! I guess another factor that comes into play with MPG is how fast you habitually drive. I've noticed there is a big difference between 60 mph and 75 mph.

Do the 35's have any issue in the spare location interfering with the third brake light?

I mostly drive rural roads, 60mph. On my C rated 35's (ko2) I get exactly 20mpg.

Mine fit fine, not obstructing the brake light. I did have to extend the bumpstops to rest against the spare.

Great looking wheels. I initially purchased the Fuel Vapors in 17", but didn't like how cluttered they looked compared to the Vapors in 18"+. Made the switch to the Fuel Beasts. Very clean, aggressive, and simple look to them.

View attachment 53613 I obviously love the look of your Jeep and wheels but I wanted to keep the sidewall height the same as the stock Rubicon tires. I went with 18x9 Fuel Beast in +20 offset to not have too much tire hanging out. Wrapped them with D rated 35x12.5 Duratracs. They stick out about an inch which I like.

JLU Pilot,

That’s a perfect setup. Can you post head on shots and rear shots? I hate it when the tire stick out super wide. It looks like a +20 offset is ideal.

You have no rubbing issues with a +20 offset?
