35-inch lifted trail setup
- Front and rear
- 17 × 9 inch, ET-12 · 35x12.50 R17
A common JL retailer and owner combination. Plan around the trim, lift and bump stops; standard-height Sahara clearance is different from a Rubicon.

Jeep Wrangler JL wheel fitment
The JL is commonly fitted with 17-inch wheels and taller all-terrain tyres. Rubicon and non-Rubicon models have different clearance limits, so a tyre that clears one trim may need a lift or arch changes on another.
5x127 bolt pattern · 71.5 mm centre bore · Stock wheels: 17 × 7.5, 18 × 7.5 inch · Stock tyres: 245/75 R17, 255/70 R18, 285/70 R17

Explained in our guides
Read these before choosing wheels for the Wrangler: they explain the offset, fitment and hub numbers in this guide.
- Wheel offset explained: choosing ET without guessingUnderstand positive and negative wheel offset, calculate inner clearance and outer position, and choose an ET using measurements from your own car.
- Lifted truck wheel fitment: backspacing, 33s, 35s and trimmingPlan larger truck tyres around lift-kit requirements, backspacing, steering and articulation. Compare 33 and 35 inch tyres without assuming a lift guarantees clearance.
- Hub-centric vs lug-centric wheels: choosing hub ringsLearn what hub rings do, how to specify their inner and outer diameters, and why centring, wheel seats and vibration need separate checks.

Larger-diameter street and trail setup

Documented in the Element Wheels JL gallery. This protrudes further than the factory wheel and needs clearance checks, appropriate suspension and tyre coverage.
Width and offset guidance
Offset range
Check the exact setup
There is no confirmed range for this car yet. Compare a known wheel with your proposed size and measure both sides.
Common width limit
Measure before ordering
A maximum width has not been confirmed. Tyre shape, ride height and alignment all change the available space.
These figures belong to the setups described here. Combining the widest wheel with either end of the offset range does not guarantee a safe fit. For how ET moves the wheel in and out, read wheel offset explained; for how far the tyre can sit out, see flush, poke and tucked fitment.
Clearance notes
- The 176 Nm wheel torque comes from JL owner information. Generic Jeep nut-size torque tables can give lower figures and must not replace it.
- JK wheels share the bolt pattern, but JK wheel nuts have a different thread. The JL requires M14x1.5 nuts with the correct seat.
- Factory rows describe the original US Sport, Sahara and Rubicon packages. Export tyres and later Xtreme Recon, 392 and other special packages differ.
- A 35-inch tyre is not a guaranteed fit at standard height across all JL trims. Test both steering lock and axle articulation.
- Check full steering lock and suspension travel with the car loaded. Match wheel load rating, tyre load and speed ratings, fastener seats and brake clearance.

Questions
What is the Wrangler JL bolt pattern?
It is 5x127 with a nominal 71.5 mm hub bore and M14x1.5 wheel nuts.
Can I use JK wheel nuts on a JL?
No. JK nuts use a 1/2-20 UNF thread, whereas the JL uses M14x1.5.
Will 35-inch tyres fit a standard Sahara?
Do not assume they will clear through full suspension travel. The wheel offset, tyre shape, lift and bump stops all affect clearance.
What is the JL wheel nut torque?
The JL specification is 176 Nm, equivalent to the manual’s 130 lb ft.
What size tyres does the Jeep Wrangler JL have?
Factory tyre (tire) sizes for the 2018–present Jeep Wrangler JL are 245/75 R17, 255/70 R18 and 285/70 R17, depending on trim. Your tyre placard shows the size for your car.
What wheel size does the Jeep Wrangler JL use?
Factory wheels are 17 × 7.5 inch and 18 × 7.5 inch, depending on trim. The stock table lists the offset for each.
