What is the minimum wheel offset with the Metal Cloak lift?
It is 4.5 inch for Metal Cloak because of the outboard shock mount.

From MC
IMPORTANT NOTE: If using OE wheels 2" spacers will be needed to give proper clearance. These mounts are intended for use for wheels with 4.5" of backspacing or less or an equivalent of a 2" spacer on factory wheels.

Thank you for that reply, much appreciated.

Waiting on my diesel Rubicon to arrive. This is exactly what I want to go with. Thank you for the pictures. Now for the frustrating part. Three technicians at Quadratec are all saying I cannot run BFG KO2s 37x17x12.5 without a spacer. Pushing these out even further?? I am very curious about your experience and eager to hear if you experience any rubbing. Thank you. Lance

No spacers? I’m very curious about your experience. I would love my ordered Stingray to have this look. I just can’t figure out why quadratec keeps saying I cannot do this without spacers.

No spacers. I don’t see why spacers would be needed on a Rubicon or max tow with the wider axles from factory. I see people running 37s on Rubicon with stock wheels, so there can’t be an issue with these. Going to Moab later this month but haven’t been Offroad yet since I’m breaking in new gears now.

Can’t speak to 37s but I’m running 35s on the Quadratec Morphic wheels with no spacers on stock JTR. Looks to me, with the amount of room lock to lock, there would def be room for 37s. However, not sure about full articulation with sway bars disconnected, still need to keep that in mind. No rubbing on my current setup, even at full articulation. Very happy so far. Plan on adding AEV 2” spacer lift and done......for now. LOL.

Hmm I really cant comment on that. Mine are 35x12.50r17 with no lift or spacers installed. Nothing hits or rubs yet. I haven't wheeled it much to really put it in an off camber situation but there is a lot of room between the tire and fender. I went with this wheel so that it would give the spacing needed for bigger tires over the factory wheel and not stick way out. I guess if they hit Ill deal with that at the time and upgrade. Thats my approach.

Looks great! What’s are your impressions?
I pretty much love the wheel. Doesn't stick out far and gives it a much more sportier look over the stock wheel and tire. The Coopers are slightly louder than the Falken Wildpeaks but I never thought the Falkens were noisy at all. Who knows once I get some mileage on these though.

I just got an email from Quadratec minutes ago verifying that, in fact, they WILL fit. That’s reassuring.

Hate to resurrect an old thread, BUT.....has anyone had any luck ordering/receiving the Morphic wheel in the machined/black finish? I ordered a set and the original ship date was supposed to be February 7th, but now Quadratec says it will likely be the middle of April.

I am so close to pulling the trigger on an AEV 2.5” lift with Morphic wheels and 35”x10.5 tires but I’m having tremors in my index finger. Not ready for 37” tires…….Yet.?

Good evening and Merry Christmas. Just wondering if you had any more pics with these wheel and tire setup? I am wanting to see how far the tires poke out, as I don't want to beat the side of my rig up with stones and such.
