18" Wheel size???

[Donelam304]

Howdy y'all. New here and first post. I'll do an introduction in a bit. Any-who. I'm getting ready to bring home a 2022 Rubicon and have 2 sets of 35's from my RAM 2500 I just went from. Only issue is, they are 18" meats. I've searched and search for some rims with the same specs as the AEV Pintlar 17" rims. Haven't had any luck. Anyone know what specs as far as backspacing kr offset I may need to run on a stock and small lift, meaning a 2" or so lift/level kit. Thanks in advance btw... First jeep also, been wanting one all my life since I drove my grandfathers WWII jeep back in the 70's. LoL. Yes, I'm old. Well, 50. LoL.

The "standard" in 18's is 18x9 w/-12 offset, but with little to no lift that's gonna be aggressive. There are a few options from KMC with 18x8.5 0 offset which would be a better fit. Just gonna be limited on choices.

Would your tires fit or work on a set of Gladiator Overland wheels? They are 18" wheels......

+1 for Overland wheels if 7.5" is wide enough. If so, they're usually pretty available and reasonable-

Pitting a 12.50 wide tire on a 7.5 wide rim isn't advisable. I finally found an 18" rim on discount tire direct that has the same specs as the AEV rims in 17'.

So maybe this will help you decide or give you a comparison.
I’ve got 18x9 with a +12 offset Vision wheel with Falken Wildpeak 295/70/18s mounted on them.

These are on my 80AE with only the Teraflex 1.5 leveling kit.
Also, for reference, my 295s are considered 34s, yet mounted measure 1/4 inch taller than my daughters 315/70/17s.

The tire manufacturers and tire shops will tell you a 12.5" tire on a 7.5" wide wheel is not advisable due to their liability. But it is done with no ill affects.

There are plenty here doing just that with 17" stock wheels.
