Wheel & Tire Upgrades in Las Vegas
When choosing tires for a 4×4 used both for daily driving and desert off-roading, it’s important to consider how much time will be spent in each environment. No tire excels in all conditions, so the choice often involves finding the best compromise based on your specific usage pattern.
- All-Terrain Tires: Best for versatility, these tires perform well on various surfaces from highways to rocky trails.
- Mud-Terrain Tires: With deep treads for maximum traction in muddy conditions, these tires are ideal for serious off-roaders.
- sticky Tires: Specially designed for rock crawling, these tires feature reinforced sidewalls and aggressive tread patterns.
Without any modifications, you can typically fit up to a 33-inch tire. However, for optimal performance and to avoid any rubbing issues, especially during off-roading and full articulation, many owners choose to stick with a 32-inch tire unless they trim the fenders or adjust the suspension.
With a 2.5-inch lift, you can typically fit up to a 35-inch tire comfortably. This size will provide good clearance for off-roading without significant rubbing issues during articulation or full steering lock.
Jeep Wrangler JK (2007-2018): With a 3.5-inch lift, you can comfortably fit 35-inch tires, and many owners opt for 37-inch tires. While 37-inch tires are a popular choice for off-roading enthusiasts looking to maximize ground clearance and obstacle negotiation, they may require additional modifications such as trimming the fenders, adjusting the bump stops, or upgrading the wheel offset.
Jeep Wrangler TJ (1997-2006): A 3.5-inch lift on a TJ generally allows for 33-inch tires comfortably. Some owners might push this to 35-inch tires with minor modifications like trimming and careful wheel choice to prevent rubbing.
Jeep Wrangler JL (2018-Present): For the JL model, a 3.5-inch lift can accommodate 37-inch tires. This setup offers substantial clearance for challenging terrain. Additional modifications might be needed to optimize performance and prevent rubbing during full articulation or sharp turns.
Jeep Gladiator (JT): Similar to the Wrangler JL, the Jeep Gladiator can also fit 37-inch tires with a 3.5-inch lift. Due to its longer wheelbase and bed, the Gladiator handles larger tires well but may require adjustments similar to those for the JL.
Jeep Cherokee XJ (1984-2001): On a Cherokee XJ, a 3.5-inch lift allows for about 33-inch tires. Fitting 35-inch tires is possible but may involve more significant modifications for adequate clearance and to avoid rubbing.
What is the largest tire size I can fit with a 4.5-inch lift?
- With a 4.5-inch lift, you can typically fit up to 37-inch tires on most Jeep models like the Wrangler JK, JL, and Gladiator. Some owners may even opt for 38-inch tires, but this could require additional trimming and adjustments.
Will I need to trim my fenders for 37-inch tires on a 4.5-inch lift?
- While 37-inch tires can generally be accommodated, minor trimming might be necessary to avoid rubbing at full articulation or during sharp turns, especially if you use wider tires or tires with aggressive tread patterns.
Do I need to upgrade other components when installing 37-inch tires on my Jeep?
- Yes, fitting larger tires often requires upgrading other components to handle the increased strain. Consider strengthening the axle, upgrading the gearing to maintain performance and fuel efficiency, enhancing the braking system, and possibly modifying the suspension further for optimal handling.
What are the impacts on driving performance with 37-inch tires on a 4.5-inch lift?
- Larger tires can affect your Jeep’s acceleration, braking, and overall handling. You might experience a change in how your Jeep handles both on-road and off-road. Adjusting your driving style and making necessary vehicle adjustments can mitigate these effects.
How does tire width and wheel offset affect fitment with a 4.5-inch lift?
- Tire width and wheel offset can significantly influence whether the tires rub against the fenders or suspension components. Choosing the right combination of tire width and offset ensures better fitment, reduces the risk of rubbing, and maintains safe and comfortable driving.
Are there legal considerations for tire size with a 4.5-inch lift?
- Depending on your location, there may be legal restrictions on how large and how far your tires can protrude beyond the fenders. Check local regulations to ensure compliance, especially if your Jeep is also used for daily driving on public roads.
What adjustments should I make to my Jeep’s alignment after installing larger tires?
- After upgrading to larger tires, it’s crucial to have a professional alignment check. This helps ensure that your Jeep maintains proper handling characteristics and tire wear, and it can also help in reducing strain on steering components.

air up system
An air compressor is a vital tool for off-road enthusiasts, regardless of location. It allows you to adjust tire pressure as needed, which is crucial for navigating various terrains. Lowering tire pressure enhances traction on surfaces like sand, mud, and rocks, making it easier to tackle challenging off-road trails. When it’s time to transition back to regular road driving, the air compressor ensures you can reinflate your tires to the optimal pressure for safety and performance. Additionally, this versatile tool can power pneumatic equipment for on-the-spot vehicle repairs and maintenance, making it a valuable asset for any off-roading adventure.

FAQ's -Installing Larger Tires on your Jeep:
Fenders
Fenders offer another way to change the look of your vehicle. Depending upon your vehicle you may only be able to change the flare, but they can also replace the entire fender on others. This area directly above the tires is primarily designed to protect the body of the vehicle from dirt, water, mud etc. from being kicked up by the tires. Depending on the style they can offer increased wheel well clearance, and even act as a rock slider in more difficult scenarios off road. A larger wheel well can also be helpful if you are wanting to run a larger tire but not wanting as tall of a lift. Like bumpers, there are a lot of brands and different options to choose from.

- Axle Reinforcements
- Differential Upgrades
- Custom Axle Builds
FAQ's we get asked about re-gearing
- Re-gearing involves changing the gear ratios in your Jeep’s differentials. This process adjusts how the engine’s power is transmitted to the wheels, which is particularly useful after modifications like installing larger tires.
- Yes, re-gearing can significantly improve off-road performance by optimizing torque and power distribution, essential for tackling steep inclines and rough terrain.
- Re-gearing is often necessary after going up in tire size because larger tires can reduce engine efficiency and vehicle performance. Proper gearing helps restore acceleration, improve towing capacity, and maintain fuel efficiency.
- If you notice a decrease in acceleration, increased engine strain, or poor fuel economy after modifying your tire size, it might be time to consider re-gearing. The right gear ratio ensures that your engine operates in its optimal power band.
- The ideal gear ratio depends on your Jeep model, the size of the tires you’ve installed, and how you use your vehicle (e.g., for daily driving, off-roading, towing). Common ratios for larger tires range from 4.88 to 5.13. Give us a call so we can go over how you plan to go off road and what ratio would be best for your jeep.
- The cost of re-gearing can vary widely based on whether you are re-gearing both front and rear axles. Prices can range from $1,000 to $3,000, including parts and labor.
- The process can take a full day per axle, depending on the complexity of your Jeep’s drivetrain.
- Every dealership is different in what they allow, so it best to ask them directly.
