Black Rhino fitment question

[Josey Wales]

I am considering a new JT Gladiator Rubicon which should be able to accommodate 35-inch diameter tires without a lift. My favorite local tire store sells the Goodyear lineup so I am looking at the Wrangler Duratrac in the 35x12.5R17LT size. The tire's recommended rim width range is 8.5-11 and I am looking at the Black Rhino Chase in the 17x9.5 size which is only available with -18 offset and 4.540 back spacing. Please let me have your comments about the fitment on the Gladiator.

Go here and enter your numbers. It will give you a decent illustration of how it changes things

Black Rhino wheels same size and offset as the wheels you listed on 37" tires. Used 1.5" spacer in the front and removed the air dam cover. No rubbing on the street but some fender rubbing offroad.

Did you paint those, or is one of the factory finishes really that close to Sting Gray? Or is it just the lighting?

Just the lighting.

Mine are 20” but this will give you an idea how far the -18 will poke out. I really like the wheels but wish they were closer to a 0 offset. The side of my truck is never clean.

Is a Black Rhino wheel like the Chase model compatible with the OEM lug nuts that will come with the black standard Rubicon wheels?

Idk for sure however I’m guessing NO. I had to buy new lugnuts when I changed my wheels.
