I have a 23 Hydro Blue JTR has 6.5 miles on it drove it home then had 61 miles on it. Went to bed woke up and immediately put my fuel wheels on with 37x12.5x20's and i have no issues , definitely wouldn't wheel it without the lift installed but like you i couldn't wait to put the rims and tires on it lift will get installed this weekend . Definitely enjoyed driving it this way for the week !!!! Appreciate the video , info & thoughts !!
Thanks! And that’s awesome haha 😎. Ya I have the lift on it now. With these stock wheels, I can’t turn all the way or the tires will rub just barely on the skid plate. But it doesn’t bother me. I just back off the turn a tad and it’s all good haha.
That’s great news!!! I’m upgrading to a gladiator as soon as my wrangler sells. The 33 inch tires make the gladiator look silly. First thing I’ll do is put on 37’s. I’ll do the lift soon after but good to know you can do this. Thanks a ton!
Yep it just might rub when you fully turn in parking lots and stuff. If you have stock wheels and no wheel spacers. It still does with the 2” lift too. It just barely rubs the tire on the front skid plate at full turn or almost full turn if on a trail and suspension is more flexed out. No biggie to me
I will save you the time. No they don’t. They will rub every where and cause you a lot of issues. Get a lift and re-gear before you toss 37’s on. As well as make sure you have a good steering stabilizer unless you want death wobble. And you might want to look into breaks as well when you get into a 37. That’s a lot of unsprung weight added and the normal factory breaks will start to over heat and warp as well as have a harder time stopping you.
I already had a lift when I put these on, it just wasn’t installed yet 😂. They only barely rub the skid plate at full turn. It’s about 20lb heavier each tire. I’m still always at 19.X mpg. I drive it like a grandpa
Great video, lots of information. Thanks for sharing
Gorgeous Gladiator. I have the Snazzberry Rubicon Gladiator. I too want 37’s so can’t wait to see this!
Go check out our video for the 2” lift too!

You need a Clayton Offroad rear track bar. It has an upward and forward bend.
Got one after making this. It’s in the garage. Gotta put it on! Haha
That spare is snug in there! 😅 But it works well with the aftermarket bar.
@@bradkvick1382 yep I did that after this video! Haha. The Clayton
Liked the video ! informational for first timers on jeep !
Bro, you're brave crawlin' underneath with the Sweet One behind the wheel.
😂
Lookin good. 👍🏻
They put them on for you? That’s a first bc our local discount won’t do anything if it’s oversized or not approved
That specific tire is good for the stock 7.5 wheel in their system
Are them 37x12.5?
Yep! Sorry for late reply
35x15.5’s look way beefier than tall tires. Go wiiiide.
Naa. Wider is not always better. I’m staying 12.50. 15.50 is too wide especially for little 35’s. That’s my opinion though haha
Plus I’m keeping the stock wheels if I didn’t say it in the video.
7.5 stock wheels on a 12.50???
