I've been driving on this for a few days on and off road and so far there aren't any issues. It's all working pretty well.

For anyone doing the .75 inch Rough Country leveling spacers in the front, DO NOT REMOVE THE TRACK ARM BOLT. I just did mine on a vehicle lift but it can easily be done with jack stands. The hardest part of the job is reinstalling the track bar bolt. Without a friend and various size punches, or maybe a well placed ratchet strap, your going to be fighting this bolt a long time. But you don't need to. The gladiator has 2 upper control arms and 2 lower. This will keep the axle in line when going up or down NO MATTER THE DISTANCE OF TRAVEL!. Taking out the track bar bolt as per the instructions will cause more head ache then to just leave it in and get a pry bar to pull down on the axle when removing the springs. It is easly done with one hand and I'm not a big guy. DONT REMOVE THE TRACK BOLT, save yourself the headache.

Excellent! Thank you for the video. I was hoping I could do it without a lift. Going with a Road Armor front bumper as well so should cure the rubbing issue.

You make some great vids for gladiator owners. I just got one so these are super helpful

She’s looking great!!! These wheels and tires really brought it to life.

You can always go with different wheels with a higher offset to fix the tire protruding out from the flare

I have same truck wide axle and all did a 35 tire with 2.1/2 level kit from icon. It’s perfect. Max tow packages great choice

Thank you, I have the same truck. Firecracker red too. Ty.

Great video thanks! Makes me really want to get one now

i have a sport JL and the first mod i did was remove the splash guards from the bumper. 8 screws and they are no more. they don't help at all with the MPG i had 24.9 before i took them off and i was at 24.9 after i took them off. i put Falken Wildpeak AT3W 285x70 r17 on my jeep and its a perfect tire size without lifting it at all. my wheels are 17x9 -6mm with a 4.76 back spacing.

You don't need anything protecting the fog lights. If you get the steel bumpers on the JL, the metal bumper does't have any back on it to protect the fog lights.

I have a 2.5” mopar lift with fox shocks on 33s on a sport s and it rides just like it did before that

Thank you for the Video. My JT is on order from the factory and I was looking at lifts and tires. I'm just going with tires thanks to your video.

Nice lookin truck!! 👍👍 amazing what a new pair of shoes can do to a vehicle

Thank you for your video! Very educational and I too got the max tow package on my sport. Do you have any updates on your sport truck or recommendations on lifts or tire upgrades?

great video!! now I know what size tire I can put on my gladiator sport max tow, if it ever gets here!!

The wheels look good and I like it when the tires sticks out. Get fox shocks..

It looks very nice with the 35’s. Good video.

In case you want less tire poke and discover that a higher back space wheel will decrease your turning circle with 315/70r17 tires, 35x11.5r17 Nitto Trail Grappler MT(stated 34.76 diameter and on a 7.5 wide wheel 10.8 -11 inch width) would be a great fit on 17x7.5 wheels but my favorite size would be if they where made 35.1×11.4 or 285/85r16, 285/80r17 and 285/75r18(currently manufactured by Goodyear, Toyo, Maxxis, Nitto). Of corse a 285/75r17 on 17x7.5(17x7.5 method racing wheels are an option besides the various OEM wheels) are always a option.

Swap the Sport bumper for a stubby Rubi bumper.... problem solved.

You're missing some key information here which is the wheel specs...those wheels probably have a greater offset than the stockers which help with clearance issues. Wheels might be wider, etc

Looks great, i would be interested in seeing the clearance in a max articulation situation. I was surprised to see the fit!

What a beautiful piece of land you have there. You could really get some thinking done. Nice truck. I've driven all three trims, wish it had a little more power, I've always had V8 trucks it's hard to go down to less.

I fit 35” on my gladiator rubicon and today I just installed my 3.5” lift on it looks awesome

285-75-17 tire size would have been a good fit without any modification, still 34 tall and 11 .2 wide, narrow better in mud and snow, take it from Old Fred 👍😎

Looks awesome with the 35’s. 😁👍🏼

Thanks for showing us the video though I will not get s Gladiator. Why don't you just get a diff bumper? I sold my JK a year before for Gladiator but was disappointed the way it looks and the high pricing. I'm eyeing on the Bronco in 2020 now.

Great Video. Are you happy with the Milestars? Heard the center crown makes them amazing. Thinking of doing 265 70 17 Patagonia. Why your video is Spot on for me with a stock sport jt

I like your mud gaurds! We're you happy with the 3/4 lift? and did you have a reason for not doing 1.5 inch ? Thanks.

Would u consider getting 306 vs 315? I was considering 285 but like the look of the 35/315 how about. 34/305? Great video and helpful. 2021 willys here.

If you load your bed down heavy wouldn't you need to install heavier springs like you needed to on any other pickup truck when hauling heavy loads?

Those Eurocovers should have been removed the first nice day lol.

Looks so much better... The MAX-TOW was the way to go for sure... You could get wheels with a additional negative offset to pull the tires back in a little. Did you recalibrate for the tire size? I wouldn't go any smaller with the tires. Gladiators already look small with 35's. Smile Would love to compare MPG with the biggest tires from stock... Your content is VERY helpful. It's real world things MOST people do! As compared to drive it home from the Stealership, cut the frame back 10 inches, drop in a Hellcat, add 40's, change the axles, cut half the back off the cab, and I could go on.. LOL Well done!

They fit perfectly, thank you very much

the tool box you have in the back of your Gladiator is nice! …is it an original MOPAR accessory? 😳 price? 😄

Looks good. Just grab some wider flares and good to go 😁

Spacers, trim and off you go!

What are the specs of your aftermarket Rim? Specifically offset?

Hello - How long did it take you to put on that rough country 3/4" spacer? Also, is there any need for an alignment afterwards? Thank you.

@OFFRD with the air damn removed and using rubicon take off suspension do you think 35’s would work for on and off road? Thanks

Nice truck though and I want one when I turn in my JL lease. My 16 jku had 35w and my 18 JLU has 33s. I love the look of 35s, but you have to change more things and other things wear out quicker etc. I put about 7k into my JKU including regearing. Ive put 1000$ into my JLU. the 33’s are a good trade off unless you really need clearance or just want and can afford the look of 35s,37ss. Etc

First thing I did to my JT is take off the air dam. Looks a lot cleaner

I ended up putting 34's (285/75's) on my Sport S MT, mostly because they don't stick out so much like the 35's do and don't kick up as much mud on the body. They also don't touch anything inside. I added a 1-1/4" front spacer later, but that was more for looks to level truck out better.

So a 35x 12.50 17 tire will fit. I have already trimmed the fog light cover/ aerodynamic plastic. I want to keep the stock rims for now. 2020 Gladiator Sport. Thanks in advance!

The max towing package also comes with Dana 44s front and rear axles and 4.10 gears as an fyi

What kind of tools did you say you used to trim it with do you think you could use like some hand snips to trim it. I got a sawzall but I don't want to butcher them. 315 70-17 going on mine in the am

OFFRD, I am really enjoying your content . Tomorrow we are going to go and try to trade our 2017 Harleys for a JT. Be well. Wayne

So without some modification, 35's don't really fit the the Sport with Max Tow package?

So given the info would you rather go 275/70/18 or 285/65/18. Trying to keep my stock overland tires

Nice video..! Good information

Did you adjust your speedometer yourself or have it done? How did that go?

I tough all Gladiators came with Dana 44 axles and only the internals where different. But they are actually wider???

Good video. Thanks

So those $30 lift spacers is all you need to make it fit? Dont need the whole leveling kit?

So what dose you gas mileage look like not I’m planing to do the same to my sport gladiator

Looks good!! How do you like those Milestars? Thinking about picking some up for my LJ.

Do you have a lift kit on this? Or is it as is when bought? I just got my first Jeep Gladiator sport and it looks like a plain Jane 😂 but not sure how to make it look like yours

my jeep gladiator overland didnt come with that air deflector?

I read that the 7650 payload is based on the factory tire size on the sport and changing it with larger tires would drop it down to the same as the rubicon which is 7000.

Did you use 2 spacers on each side?

hey...did you use spacers in the front and back??

i havent seen any dump in acceleration with my 35s, barely any breaking difference. but i have max tow with 4.10 gears. andy why is yours rubbing? mine doesnt and i have true 35s, yours at 315 are actually 34.5 or so.

Did you mention what offset that wheel is ?

I have a new set of Fox shocks off my Gladiator Rubicon if you're interested.

Found those wheels but what Offset are yours?

Couldn't you find some lighter 35's?

Sweet garbage can; ours are the boring gray ones. The blue is stunning. 👍🏻

Isn't 315/70 closer to 34" than 35"?

What is the offset on those wheels? I have similar wheels on my JLU that I plan on moving over to my JT when I get it. Thanks for making this video!

What size wheels are those and the offset

I’m thinking about 305/70/17 or 285/75/17 they weigh about same

can you put 35x12.5x22 on a stock gladiator

Don't worry about your fog lights being protected

How are you liking the Patagonia? I know your first mudding trip was a disappointment but you didn't air down. Thanks.

No problem with the Sport S max tow

Very nice!!!

Do a lift kit. Please don’t go down in tire size.

You make me want a jt

Nice wheels

If you mount those 35s on stock wheels or wheels with same spec as stock wheels THERE IS NO RUBBING!! I'v done it!! So you're not accounting for wheel specs, only "if 35s will fit without rub" .....They will if you have the right wheel specs without any modification to fenders.

What mud flaps are those?

Will 33s fit stock? I'm looking into getting wheels and tires for my sport. Wanting to know if I need to lift or not

Looks good

If you go to a 35, don't you need to re-gear your rear end? These tires can eventually hurt your motor and transmission supposedly.

I know I am a little late but did upgrading to the 35 lowered your towing capacity? I’ve been debating between 33 or 35 but don’t want to lose the whole point of max tow.

What’s the size and offset of the wheels along with tire size? Thanks

Your Sport with the Max Tow has open differentials, yes?

Did you need an alignment after putting the spacers in?

I agree slightly smaller tire

Much better looking with 35" tires. You need a winch and custom bumper now.

How long did you run with this set up and did you have issues?

Do you have to regear with that size of tire?

Do you know the offset or backspace on those wheels?

Just change the front bumper by use Rubicon or Sahara front bumper

Looks real nice, would look nicer with 37" or even 40s

What’s the offset of the new wheels you put on?

Definitely loose those splash guards. Your wires are exposed on an aftermarket bumper and it's rare anyone has a problem

Do you use tpms sensors in those 35 inch ?

Whats the fuel mileage now with the 35s

you still won't be able to do any off reading without damaging something I rather do a 2 inch lift and don't worry about 👍
