Ok, Its subjective, I know.

But I'm talking about keeping the poke as close to factory as possible.

I was looking at the Black Rhino Arches 17x8 with a 30mm offset. From all that I read here, it looks like it is one of the closest to factory I have found. They are only a half inch wider than factory and have a high offset.

For comparison, Most wheels have a 0 offset and a number of them were 9" wide which made them stick out an additional 56 mm, where as this only sticks out 13 mm or just over .5 inches.

I put it in the comparison and came up with the following.

My question really is, am I missing anything else that will come back and bite me later?

Similar to AEV 17x8.5 with ET+25 wheels.

Edit: another important factor is the hub centric bore diameter.

no your math is mathin. stock mojave wheels sit at plus 35 i believe so going wider means you want to reduce offset. I run stock sport wheels, 17x7.5 +44 offset with a 1in spacer. so i'm sitting at +28 offset roughly. Fits as tight as i can get before 37s will start rubbing.

I considered doing that, but with 12.50" wide tires, my concern was rubbing at full articulation, so I went with 0 and live with the poke.

So I have -
Black Rhino Armory 17x8,
5x127, ET30, Backspace 5.68
Roadone Cavalry M/T 35x12.50R17

On my 2020 Monaje. It has almost no poke at all. (I hate tire poke). As soon as my wife get home with my Mojave (her JLU is apart in the garage), I can take pictures

for 12.5 or 315 widths from pictures others have posted the "perfect" offset for wide axles (rubicon, mojave, maxtow, and HA) is +25. Obviously every tire is a little different, but i've seen a lot of wide axle +25 12.5s looking very flush with maybe only a touch of sidewall poking. AFAIC, if all your tread is covered, a little sidewall poke is tasteful.

I run stock Mojave wheels with 12.50 width tires. So as @azmojave stated, 37.17

I had to adjust my steering stops with a couple of washers and trimmed my inner fender liner.

While mine are 18 x 8", they are also +30. Fit nicely!

Really appreciate the pictures and comments from everyone.

Looks like this is a new wheel so even their official page is lacking info. Really liking how tight it looks.
