Biggest Tires on Stock Jl 17” Rims

One of the most frequently asked questions we get here at ExtremeTerrain is what are the biggest tires that can fit on a stock JL 17” rim. The simple answer to this question is 35” tires. However, there are a few things you need to take into account before just slapping some 35”s on your Jeep.

In this blog post, we will go over those things and give you all the information you need to know about running 35” tires on your stock JL 17” rims.First and foremost, you need to make sure that your Jeep is equipped with the proper suspension lift kit and components in order to accommodate for the larger tires. We recommend at least a 3-4” suspension lift kit for running 35” tires on your stock JL 17” rims.

This will ensure that there is sufficient clearance between your tire and fender well as well as provide enough space for articulation without rubbing. Additionally, you may also need to trim or modify your front and rear bumper in order for the tire to clear when turning or flexing.Another thing you need to take into consideration is your Jeep’s gearing ratio.

When adding larger tires, it effectively decreases your gearing ratio which can negatively impact performance both off-road and on-road. We recommend upgrading to 4:88 gears or higher if you plan on running 35″ tires on your stock JL 17″ rims (or any other size tire for that matter). This will help offset the decrease in gearing ratio caused by the larger tires and help maintain optimal performance levels.

In terms of actual brands and models of 35” tires that will fit on stock JL 17” rims, there are quite a few options out there depending on what type of terrain you plan on tackling with them. Some popular all-terrain tire choices include the Nitto Trail Grappler, Toyo Open Country A/T III, Falken Wildpeak A/T3W, and General Grabber AT2 just to name a few. If you’re looking for more of an mud-terrain tire option, then look no further than favorites like the Nitto Mud Grappler, Toyo MT Open Country, Falken Mud Terrain KM2, or General Tire Grabber MTX just to list a few possibilities again.
