Did I find the perfect Offset for a Mojave?

[whysoserious]

Elaborate please.

The 17x8 30mm for the Arches doesn't have the correct lug pattern for the JT. In the Arches, you are stuck with -18mm or 0mm in a 17x9.5. Or you could go 20x9.5 in a -18mm.

I see what you’re saying. Extreme terrain supposedly has them in the correct lug pattern of 5x127.

It’s a newer wheel so either black rhino hasn’t updated their info page or extreme terrain is wrong.

This website has the correct lug pattern in +30 https://wheelsco.ca/products/brachbr

This is why I think black rhino just hasn’t updated their info on their page yet

I don't think you mentioned what size of tire you were thinking of?

Correct. For now I’m only looking at wheels. Tires will be my next adventure ? slow and steady as to not drain my account too fast! lol

Sticking with stock for now, but if I go bigger, it seems these can handle 35’s and possibly 37’s.

 

[whysoserious]

Gotcha. Well, with no animosity toward Extreme Terrain, I received this from them about a year ago in my inbox...

Similar to AEV 17x8.5 with ET+25 wheels.

Edit: another important factor is the hub centric bore diameter.

Just coming back to this one..

It does appear these are hub centric at 71.50 if I’m understanding correctly.

YES, you want a 71.5mm hub. Otherwise with lug centric it is not easy to get the wheel centered when mounting on the vehicle. Also I would concentrate more on Back Space than offsets. It only really makes sense using offsets when you are comparing the same width rim. Mojave uses about a 5.57" BS. Stick as close to that if you like the factory poke no matter the width of rim.

Looks to be 1/10 of an inch more backspace so I think this is as close as we can get.

I can send pictures of my set up tomorrow. I went with the same BS but went to a 315 tire from the stock 33". I have a Rubicon but the Mojave is the same axel and fender. I went with a 17x8.5 rim and a 34 offset which is equal to 6" BS from factory.

Always interested in seeing pics. Appreciate it!

This is with a 17x8.5 rim ET34 which equals a 6" Back Space, which is what the Rubicon comes stock (17x7.5 ET44.5). Mounted with Toyo OC/MT 315/70R17. They measure 34.4" high and 12.8" wide (Actual) and only the side wall pokes out. One note here is that I have a 1.5" TeraFlex spacer in the front to level and compensate for the winch. You may have a rub with a stock bumper requiring to either trim out the back or go with a stubby. I have no issues with this set up and have flexed pretty hard with no rubbing or clearance issues. If you think there is to much poke you can go down to a 11.5" wide in either 35" or 37". They even make a 10.5" in Nitto I believe.

very cool! Thank you!

I get a little rub on my Mojave with 35” k02s and AEV Salta II +25 on right hand turns going over ruts. Only with passengers.
