Jeep Gladiator Wheel and Tire Fitment Guide
June 10, 2024
Our Favorite Wheel and Tire Setups for the Current-Gen Jeep Gladiator
Since it was first released to the American market for the 2020 model year, the Jeep Gladiator has been making quite a splash in the off-roading scene. It's undoubtedly a mid-size pickup, but has the same general look and feel of smaller Wrangler models, meaning that it's a looker and a performer both in terms of function and form. This makes the Gladiator a top choice for off-roading, daily driving, and everything in between, but you might be wondering - what fits it?
We know that in the off-road community the first upgrade to make is generally the choice of wheels and tires you slap on your rig, so today we want to take you through the most common fitment specs for the current-gen Gladiator so you can get a setup you know will fit. Let's go!

Jeep Gladiator Wheel Bolt Pattern Specs
Right off the bat, you should know the bolt pattern that the Gladiator is compatible with so you don't go through the trouble of getting a set of wheels only to figure out that they won't fit on your model.
The Gladiator has had the same 5x127mm (5x5 inch) bolt pattern throughout its entire lifespan, so as you're picking out the wheels that look best for it, make sure they're set up in this arrangement - otherwise, you'll also need to grab a set of adapters.
Best Wheel & Tire Fitment Sizes For a Stock Jeep Gladiator
Today we'll take you through the best fitments for each Gladiator configuration, starting first of all with a stock setup. Off the lot, stock Gladiator wheels come in either a 17 or 18 inch diameter depending on the trim you pick.
Unsurprisingly, that's what we'd also recommend if you're building a Gladiator with completely stock suspension. Try to keep your wheel size at around 17x8.5 or 17x9, and pair those wheels up with 35x12.5 tires. 35-inch tires will give your Gladiator plenty of rubber to work with on rougher trails, and we all know how good small wheel/big tire combos look.
Best Wheel & Tire Fitment Sizes For a Leveled Jeep Gladiator
What if you want to upgrade your Gladiator to a leveling kit - what fits then? Well, you're still good to keep the same 17x9 / 35x12.5 size combo for a stock model, but if you're planning on going a little bit more aggressive, try 17x9.5 inch wheels and 37x13.5 tires. This way, your tires will be a bit bigger and have more room to fill out your wheel well.
Best Wheel & Tire Fitment Sizes For a Lifted Jeep Gladiator
Finally, let's see what fits on a Gladiator that's lifted - if you're putting a lift kit on your truck, more than likely it'll be around 3.5 inches high or greater, but no matter what you're looking for, the recommendations will likely stay around the same.
For the easiest fit on a lifted Gladiator, you'll want to go for 17x9 wheels with 37x13.5 tires, but if you're really trying to flex, you can max out with 20x10 wheels and 38x13.5 tires. Be advised that with each of these larger sizes you might run the risk of slight rubbing, or other modifications needed to your truck in order to get the wheel and tire combo to fit properly - that's a small order for how it will look and perform, though.
