About 35x12.50R17 tires

Fitment and lift

35x12.50R17 is the off-road specialist's size. The 17-inch wheel diameter is the smallest you'll commonly find on modern lifted-truck builds, and that's exactly why it's popular: it gives you 6 inches of sidewall, which is the difference between a tire that rolls over a sharp rock at 12 PSI and a tire that pinches a bead. It dominates the Jeep Wrangler JL/JK Rubicon and Ford Bronco Sasquatch markets, and it's also seen on older first-gen Raptors and HD trucks running 17-inch beadlocks.

Brands that make it

Brand depth is excellent: BFGoodrich KO2 and KM3 are the gold-standard all-terrain and mud-terrain picks, Toyo Open Country A/T III and M/T cover the same range with a slightly different tread strategy, Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T offers a snowflake-rated hybrid, Nitto Ridge Grappler covers the highway-friendly hybrid crowd, and Falken Wildpeak A/T4W is the value choice.

Before you buy

The size pairs naturally with a 2.5 to 3.5 inch lift on Wranglers and is the absolute fitment ceiling for most stock-fender Broncos and Jeeps without high-clearance fender flares or bumper trimming.

Will 35x12.50R17 fit my truck?

The serious off-road Jeep and Bronco size. The 17-inch wheel maximizes sidewall (about 6 inches of sidewall), which is ideal for airing down on rocks, sand, and mud. This is the dominant Wrangler Rubicon and Bronco Badlands upgrade size.

Common fitments

  • Jeep Wrangler JL Rubicon with 2.5 inch lift
  • Jeep Wrangler JK with 3-3.5 inch lift
  • Jeep Gladiator JT Rubicon with 2.5 inch lift
  • Ford Bronco Wildtrak/Badlands/Raptor with leveling kit
  • Ford F-150 Raptor (Gen 1) on 17-inch wheels with lift
  • Ford F-250/F-350 Super Duty (older, on 17s) with 2-3 inch level

On a Jeep that goes to Croom, Withlacoochee, or Ocala National Forest regularly, 35x12.50R17 is the right answer. The taller sidewall absorbs Florida's notoriously potholed county roads and the wider footprint floats over the loose sand at Hutchinson Island and Anclote without digging. Aired down to 12-15 PSI, this size is unmatched in soft Gulf Coast sand.

35x12.50R17 questions, answered straight

The questions we get most often from Tampa truck owners shopping this size.

What lift do I need for 35x12.50R17 on a Jeep Wrangler JL?
On a JL Rubicon, a 2.5 inch lift clears 35x12.50R17 cleanly with stock offset wheels and no fender trimming. On a JL Sport or Sahara, you'll want a 3 inch lift plus high-clearance fenders or a fender chop because they have less clearance than the Rubicon. JK Wranglers need 3-3.5 inches with the same notes about Sport vs Rubicon.
Why is 17 inch wheel better than 18 or 20 for 35-inch tires?
Sidewall. A 35x12.50R17 has about 6 inches of sidewall versus 5 inches on a 35x12.50R18 and 4 inches on a 35x12.50R20. More sidewall means: better airing-down for rocks and sand, better impact absorption on Florida potholes, less risk of bending the wheel on a hidden hole, and better off-road traction at low pressure. The trade-off is slightly less precise on-road steering response, but most off-road builders prefer the sidewall.
Will 35x12.50R17s fit a stock Ford Bronco Badlands?
On a Bronco Sasquatch (Badlands or Wildtrak with the Sasquatch package), the truck comes from the factory on 35x12.50R17s. On a non-Sasquatch Badlands, a small leveling kit and high-clearance fender flares clear 35x12.50R17 without major work. On a base Bronco, you'll want a 2 inch lift and the high-clearance fenders. On a Bronco Raptor, 37s fit; 35s are a downgrade.
Do I need to regear my Wrangler for 35-inch tires?
On a JL Rubicon (4.10 stock gears), regearing for 35s is optional; most owners live with the stock gears and add a tune. On a JL Sport or Sahara with 3.45 or 3.73 gears, regearing to 4.56 or 4.88 makes a meaningful difference if you tow or do regular highway driving. On a JK with 3.21 or 3.73 stock, regearing is strongly recommended for 35s.
Are mud-terrains worth it in 35x12.50R17 for Florida?
If you actually wheel in deep mud or sand 5+ times a year, yes. The Toyo Open Country M/T or BFG KM3 in 35x12.50R17 will outperform any A/T in real mud. If you mostly drive your Jeep on the highway with occasional trail use, a hybrid (Nitto Ridge Grappler) or aggressive A/T (Falken Wildpeak A/T4W, Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T) gives you 90 percent of the off-road performance at 60 percent of the road noise.
