The Wildpeaks that came with the JT are 32s

No rubbing. I installed the 35s thinking the fronts might rub when making full lock turns. This wheel and tire set originally came from our 2023 JL with the XR package. In my opinion it looks and rides better. My next project is upgrading the standard radio top dash speakers and adding a powered subwoofer. More on that later...

Looks great! Really like the wheels and the 35’s perfectly fill the fender well IMHO.

Very clean look! That's how they should come from factory for sure.

Looks great sir! I’m tempted to throw on my wife’s 37’s with no lift just because.

Looks great!
Just curious. What didn’t you like about the Wild Peaks? Or is it just the size….
As I hate the BFG’s. I like the 35’s more than the 32’s but the wild peaks just seemed to drive much better especially in wet or icy conditions.

Thanks for the question—I’m sure others are curious about this too. Just to clarify, I actually like the Wildpeak tires. I thought the Gladiator rode well with them, and honestly, I didn’t have any issues at all. That said, I prefer the look of the Gladiator with the black Mopar wheels and BFG tires, and I think the ride feels a bit softer with the BFGs. Both sets of tires are Load Range C, so the difference is probably just in my head—LOL!Looks great!

We took my Falken Wildpeaks and wheels off my Rubicon JT and threw them on my wife's JLU and she loves them. I also thought they rode well in most conditions but moved to 35's for a more aggressive tire as my JT sees much more off road than hers does. I agree with you on the look of those wheels with the BFG's. Nice combo.
