Default How much does a STOCK 18" wheel/tire combo weigh?

I've dug around these forums for about an hour and can't find a weight. Looking to compare.

Looking to go with 17" Dick Cepek Torques and 35x12.50-17 MT ATZ Radials. Total weight on the new ones is 92#.

Thanks in advance.

The bigger the heavier! I think more weight is in the tires for sure. I went from 35' 18 Kumho's (which I loved) to the BFG
Mud Terrain. 7 lb difference per tire! Rides a bit smoother too.

Didn't know that you could get an 18" wheel stock on a Rubicon.
