Well the mopar steels are 17x8 and the tire size is 255/75/17.

I looked online and tire rack lists the the stock X tires at 38lbs. and I think the stock X rims are 18lbs. so my setup is like 22lbs. more per wheel/tire.

I wonder what toll that takes on the steering/suspension?

definitely more stress on the axles just like any other wheel/tire upgrade, parts wear faster, etc.

Same as pjk. Stock sahara wheel w/tire is 70 lbs. Which makes me wonder why my owners manual says the stock spare mount max is 50 lbs????

My Firestone MT 35 tire on 17 procomp wheel is 88 lbs.

The worst offender I owned was a 38x14.50 Super Swamper SX on an aluminum beadlock weighing in at a cool 138# each. That's 690# worth of tires and wheels....
