New wheels were a must on my new Jeep. Narrowed it down to these Mickey Thompsons - love them so far.
Build a complete, fitment-checked wheel and tire package for your Jeep Gladiator - free mount & balance, sized for your lift and the JT's longer wheelbase, and shipped free as one set.
Start from either end - wheels or tires - and we keep everything that follows compatible with your exact Gladiator.
Most chain shops won't touch oversized or E-rated off-road tires - wrong equipment, or they cap you at factory sizes. We mount, balance, and ship your set assembled, ready to bolt on. Free when you buy wheels and tires together - a $150-$250 job anywhere else.

on Mickey Thompson Baja Legend MTZ 40x13.50R17
The Mickey Thompson MTZ has been a tried and true tire for years. Happy to see the slightly new design for "Legend."

The Gladiator shares its 5×5 bolt pattern and front end with the JL Wrangler, but the 137-inch wheelbase and pickup bed change what clears out back. Here is how each size fits.
Every 2020-2026 Gladiator JT - Sport, Willys, Overland, Rubicon, Mojave - uses a 5×5 (5×127) bolt pattern with a 71.5 mm hub bore and M14×1.5 lugs, the same as the JL Wrangler. Factory wheels are 17x7.5 or 18x7.5 at +44 offset; the aftermarket standard is a 17x9 at -12 offset (4.5" backspacing) or 0 offset (5" backspacing) for a flush, no-spacer stance.
| Bolt pattern | 5×5 (5×127) - shared with JK and JL Wrangler |
|---|---|
| Hub bore | 71.5 mm |
| Lug thread | M14×1.5 |
| Factory offset | +44 mm on 17x7.5 / 18x7.5 |
| Factory tire sizes | Sport 245/75R17 (31.5") · Overland 255/70R18 (32") · Rubicon & Mojave 285/70R17 (33") |
Backspacing decides whether a tire hits the frame, the sway bar, or the fender. On a Gladiator, 4.5" backspacing (-12 offset) is the safe standard for 35s and 37s; anything deeper pushes the tire into the front control arms at full lock.
Rubicons come with 4.10 gears and fit 35s without a regear. Sport and Overland trucks with 3.73s (4.10 optional) feel soft on 35s and slow on 37s. The rule of thumb: 4.56-4.88 for 35s and 37s, 5.13-5.38 for 40s. The 3.0L EcoDiesel has more torque to spare but its 3.73 gears still benefit from 4.56 on 37s. Recalibrate the speedometer for the new tire diameter with a tuner or the dealer.
The Gladiator's longer wheelbase and rear leaf springs make it more stable on 37s than a Wrangler, but the extra mass of an E-rated 37 is still felt in braking and fuel economy. A load range C or D 35 is the lighter, more comfortable choice for a truck that does not tow heavy. Every tire on this page lists its load range and weight.
Buying wheels and tires together means we check the whole combination - bolt pattern, hub bore, backspacing, diameter, and load rating - against your trim and lift before anything ships. We mount and balance the set for free, install TPMS sensors if you add them, and ship the four assembled wheels free to your door. Bolt them on, torque the lugs to 130 ft-lb, and drive. No shop appointment, no $150-250 mounting bill, and no getting turned away because a chain store will not touch 37s.

All 2020-2026 Gladiators are 5×5 (5×127) with a 71.5 mm hub bore and M14×1.5 lugs - the same as the JK and JL Wrangler, so every Wrangler wheel fits.
On a Rubicon or Mojave, yes: a 35x12.50R17 on a 17x9 at 0 to -12 offset fits at stock height with light rubbing on the front bumper corners at full lock. Sport and Overland trucks fit 33s stock and want a 1.5-2.5" lift for 35s.
2.5-3.5", plus bump-stop extensions so the rear tires stay out of the bed's wheel tubs at full compression, and a 17x9 wheel with 4.5" backspacing (-12 offset). Most owners regear to 4.88 at the same time.
Rubicons on 4.10s are fine on 35s. Sport and Overland trucks on 3.73s feel soft on 35s and slow on 37s. Plan on 4.56-4.88 for 35s and 37s and 5.13-5.38 for 40s.
Yes - and we will actually mount them. Many chain shops refuse oversized tires; we mount and balance every set we sell, including 37s and 40s, free when you buy the wheels and tires together. That is typically $150-$250 of install work you keep, and the set ships assembled and ready to bolt on.
Yes. Add OE-compatible sensors during the build and we install them with your package. The Gladiator relearns sensors automatically after a short drive.
Yes. When you supply your trim and lift during the build, we check the combo against bolt pattern, hub bore, diameter, backspacing, and load rating before shipment. We have built Jeeps since 1986 - fitment is the part we got into this business to get right.
Yes - split the package into monthly payments with Affirm or PayPal Pay Later, or choose Acima lease-to-own at checkout. Most Gladiator packages run $1,800-3,800.
