Default stock wheels' performance
How do stock wheels perform offroad? Would it be a better choice to go with new wheels rather than keeping the stocks?

I'm still running the stock wheels. While they're not like aftermarket 35's you might be surprised how well they do off-road.

Run the stock rims and tire off road many times. Had the air pressure down to 15psi with no issues. Granted not heavy crawling either.

Stock wheels and tire do well off-road .... there a re better wheels and tires ..but the stock one have one great advantage! You already own them!!! No extra cost.
