Any advice?

I am considering 35/12.50s for my Rubicon Gladiator and going to use a 8.5 or 9 x 17 rim. I want to keep the profile as close to stock as possible - meaning I dont want the tires to stock out past the fender flares. The largest positive offset on a wheel I like is 18mm. If the stock rim has an offset of 44.5mm, will my proposed set up stay under the flares? If not, how far past should I expect? I am considering the KMC XD 135 "Grenade" in matte black. Backspace is 5.71 inches. I also want to avoid a lift.

Thanks in advance.
Here you go - stock vs. what you're considering:

Thanks, Striker. Lots of info on the diagram. Looks like I will be good as far as not sticking out past the fenders. Does the diagram suggest any other issues for clearance? Can you provide the source link please?

I'd like to see pics of Sting gray with the standard wheel on the rubicon. Having a hard time deciding between standard and the factory upgrade. I'm thinking the standard granite color wheel and sting gray may not look good together? Hopefully these start shipping soon!

For those interested in Quadratec's discount program for forum members .... Order online and then email robw@quadratec with order number.... applies to all future purchases too!


hello,

thanks for the email.

we offer a 5% discount on applicable items and free ground shipping for forum members.

we do not use any codes, any discount is manually applied.

if you wanted to send me some part numbers, I can check price and availability.


or...


if you were interested in placing an order, you can do so online.
this way you have all your passwords linked and you don't have to email cc numbers.
after you place the order, email me the order number and I will apply the discount.
I will also mark your account "forum discount eligible" for any future orders.


also, just an fyi...each order placed online goes on hold after the order is placed.

it is then reviewed by a rep, mainly for discrepancies, and then sent to processing.

the discount will be applied at this time. not when you are at checkout.

I thought the same, but couldn’t stomach the $900 upgrade cost for another factory wheel. I already have my Quadratec wheels and plan to sell my Rubi takeoffs to offset the cost. It’s almost like free wheels...

Trying to narrow down a few wheels but I keep changing my mind (going on a Bright White Rubicon with 2" Mopar lift):
