Tire Upgrade - Gladiator Sport

[manny0103]

After two years of ownership, I am looking to finally upgrade my stock tires to 33’s and have a few questions.

1. Will bigger tires fit on the stock silver wheel?
2. Will rubbing be an issue?
3. Are wheel spacers a good idea or should I just save up for better wheels?

Thanks in advance.

I ran 35s for a year or so on my Sport max tow before putting a leveling kit on the front of it. I had no rubbing at all, but the picture below was about as crazy as I went offroad with it. No rubbing issues (sway bar still connected). I'd imagine 33s would be completely fine.

I don't know if they would fit on factory wheels without rubbing though.

Eddie did a video about putting 33’s on his 2 door sport with no lift.

1. Yes you should be able to find a 33 that will fit your current wheels.

2. If you don’t have a max tow package with the wider axles, then you may rub at full lock see video below for context.

3. Wheel spacers may not be needed since your not running a 35 or larger tire on factory back spacing.

Hope this helps.
