Ok I have a 2023 Rubicon that I'm using the stock rims and 33" for my sport 2 door and need new rims but sometimes get confused with pics of people's rims and specs cauae either a willy's or sport or rubicon. If I go to a 35" but want my tires to poke out say 2" since it's a Rubicon with wide axles do you stay 0 or +1 offset to get same stance as a NON rubicon with -12 offset?
Don't want to order -12 on rubicon only to make it look like a clown car...lol. putting the 1" wider fender flares trim on so just need to know what offset for a 17x9" rim needs -12, -6, 0 or +1 to get that 1.75-2" wider per side.

This is +6 with wide axles and 35x12.50 tires.

So even at +6 the tire sticks out...man I'm glad I didn't order -12 wide the wide rubicon axles. Looks like I'm looking for 0-6 offset. Thank you

Even though tire size may give you tire poke the thing you need to look at is the offset and width. I run a 17x9 with 0 offset on a Rubicon and the tire poke is as far as I would want to go and still give me the clearance needed on the inside with a 5 inch backspace, stock rims I believe have 6 1/4 and were rubbing my inner fenders

Yep I'm going 17x9 rim as well so if you have a pic of your setup I appreciate it seeing as we both have rubicons and I was thinking 0 offset as well
