Stock 2015 Rubi Wheels
 
as the title states I have a 2015 rubi hard rock 2 door. I was curious as to how durable the wheels are for an off road wheel. looking to upgrade eventually but not right now. I was looking to get 35s but wasn't sure if I should go ahead and get the new tires on the stock wheels. I only do minor wheeling trails and mud not much crawling. thanks for any advice

Well they are first generation, but they are real mud terrain tires and work very capably. I ran mine until I had to change them out, only problem is there are better tires in the snow or rain on the road, but all mud tires suffer from that.

sorry I didn't word it clearly. I am wondering if the wheels are any good not the tires

The wheels have a high tensile strength and there are very few failures outside of accidents where the tire is torn from the vehicle.

For light trails and mud, the wheels will survive just fine. These will not hold mud like some of the street lock wheels.

What is the width and backspace on those rims?

Some shops will not mount wide tires on narrow, stock rims. Each tire mfg will list the recommended min/max rim widths in the specs for each tire. Check with your local shops before ordering.

If the rims have the normal stock backspace (roughly 6-6.25"), plan on buying wheel spacers to move those new 35's out. (around $200 for spidertrax)

So, depending on the specs, you would probably be better off with new rims that have both the correct backspace and a proper width for the new tire size. :dontknow2:

Of your only into light wheeling you should be fine. Like others have said you will need at least wheel spacers. Look at the spidertrax discount store. Factory "blems" for 79/pair instead of 99

If you go with a 12.5 width tire you may need to go with a 1.75"spacer to avoid rubbing

thanks for all the info I'll double check everything and look into it
