Wheel offset for 37” tires on Narrow axles

[2021Willys]

Looking for wheel offset recommendations for running BFG 37/12.5/17 on a Willys Gladiator with the narrow axles. Do I need to go with a 0 offset wheel or can I get away with +12mm? I don’t want too much poke but also don’t want to rub lower control arms. Currently have the Mopar lift with Rubicon high line fenders. Thanks

You need something with about 4.5" of backspacing.. a 10" +12 wheel won't get you there, but an 8" +12 should.

Thanks. Yeah a lot of the wheels I like are 8.5” +12 offset which I think is cutting it too close. I know AEV runs an 8.5” +25mm offset for the Rubicons with the wider axles and the tires are almost completely tucked.

Those should be close, worst case you might get some rub on the LCA at full lock, but I'd bet you'd be ok.

-12 offset is what i have and it looks good. Check out Dirt Road Cred and his tire video with the avix tires. I ended up with the same set up. -12 x 9 and you also to pay attention to the hub bore size and get hub rings to make the wheels fit nicely.
