I apologize up front if this is the wrong forum but I am new here. Does anyone know if these tires will fit a 2022 Jeep Gladiator Willys without any modifications? BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 Car Tire for Light Trucks, SUVs, and Crossovers, LT285/75R17/E 128/125S

More than likely. It might have some fender rubbing depending on how much weight you put in the back and how fast you hit the speedbumps. For real-life use cases you might have better luck on the Gladiator forum.

Assuming the ridiculous jump in price doesn't scare you off... follow your bliss. Get the larger tires.

I'll see if I can find my real world measurements of the 37" KO2, IIRC they are not the advertised size (36.5") mounted.

This is 37" KO2 and 38" TG:

Are both wheels 17”? They’re obviously different wheels. But the wheels on the 38s look like 18s.

The 39x12.50r17 kanati mud hogs on the wife's JLUR are a 1/2" bigger mounted vs my buddies ko2s... and the same price as the 37" bfgs. It's a 3.6L xr and the stock 4.56s are fine pushing the bigger tires. 30k miles on them so far and plenty of life left. Unlike the KO2s they have great traction in mud and deep snow. I wouldn't choose the KO2 over them if the KO2s were the same price.

I know this is about 37s I’m currently running MTBBATs LT255/85/17 34.6”x10.01” I love the pizza cutter look and performance on and offroad. Do they make a pizza cutter in a 37-40? Mickey Thompson does not may the BBAT in anything bigger than the 37x12.5x17 which I’m not sure I’d go bigger than that because of how awesome the MTBBATs are. And the 37s have a section width of 13” and tread width of 10.1” which is far too wide in my opinion. I’d probably go as big as an 11” section width.
