Just got 33's and new rims - weigh 101lbs
Hey everyone. Just got back in to the Jeep game after a small hiatus. Bought a nearly new 2018 JK and was anxious to get new rims and tires. As a daily driver I didn't want to go above 33" so I got Dick Cepek 285/70R17 Fun Country's and Fuel Assault rims. I actually hadn't thought much about the weight until they arrived and realized they were 101-102 lbs. I see the that Fuel rims alone weigh 42 lbs. So this seems pretty heavy on a stock Jeep. Am I being paranoid? Are others running 33's with this kind of weight on stock?
|
42 for a non bead lock is a bit high, my double bead lock weight around 50. I would not worry about the weight with 33's.
|
Those Fun Country tires are an excellent all around, long lasting tire. That is pretty heavy for a 33" wheel/ tire combo, but did you weigh the stock wheels to see how much the difference actually is? I don't think you will have any problems with it.
|
Stock 17 is about 25lbs and with the stock good year is total about 54lbs
|
I've seen different weights for stock tires. Haven't taken them off yet so not sure. This thread gives the 54lb but looks like they agreed it was about 61 (https://www.wranglerforum.com/f274/w...re-167141.html). So a little over 40 more lbs per tire. I couldn't actually find the tire weight on Goodyear's site. Is anyone running this kind of weight on 33's? How's the ride? Any issues with other components?
As far as I know (According to the VIN search and assuming no one did any other work) the Jeep I have now has 3.21 gears. |
Realistically, you're not sending those back right? Throw em on and enjoy. The weight is what it is.
|
HAHA! No... I'm not sending them back. I'm just interested in what I can expect. I've run 33's on my YJ and my TJ in the past, but they were never this heavy. And right now I'm not doing any other after-market work. At most I had planned to probably get a spacer lift, perhaps a 2" coil lift. Nothing to break the bank.
|
If I remember right, that's about what my 35s came out to wheels and tires. Shouldn't be an issue. I would run em!
|
Thought I'd share how this wheel/tire combo looks on my unlifted 2018 JK.

I recently purchased KM2s (285/75r17) and used the stock Willys wheels. The weight of my tires is +/- 95lbs...based off of a bathroom scale. On the roads, the 3.73 gearing handles the extra weight well; however, I recently did a little offroading and realized the Jeep struggled on some of the hills while in 4hi. No issues with 4lo.
