Just purchased some fifteen52 wheels on sale. I haven’t had them installed. I have a rubicon JT. I am second guessing my decision out of fear of the 0 offset. Do any of you have any issues with stone/gravel damage or regret going with an aggressive offset?

Fifteen 52 Metrix HD in Black, really good deal on these wheels right now, quality seems good.

I like the setup. Any regrets/issues or changes in driving characteristics with the wheels?

No issues for me with offset but i don’t go down any gravel roads, Beach and dirt about the same as most wheels.

The fender extensions and mudflaps help. 37x12.5’s and they are perfect “within” the extensions so no tickets…

Here is how she turned out with the @fifteen52 wheels! Stock suspension on 33s. Probably not going bigger tire because I live in the mountains and the speed limit is 80mph! Anywho, I’m pleased with the result! There are minor changes in driving dynamics with the offset and increase weight of the wheels. After a few days I’m already used to it. Oh, I installed WeatherTech mud flaps. They help with blocking most debris but not all, as you can see in the pics.

Got my Fifteen52 Metrix in Carbon Grey paired with the 37x11.5R17 Nitton Recon yesterday! Getting the lift and tires installed next weekend! Interested to see how the 0 offset with the 11.5 width on a non-wide axle turns out ??????

Edit: this looks huge compared to the 285/70R17 but has to be because it’s closer. Holy.

Just because this is an active thread and these wheels are in a size I'm interested in, does the 0 offset 8.5" wheel and 37s work well on the narrow axles? That's 4.75" of backspacing which would be a little low in JK world. My goal is either 1552 Analogs or KMC Roswells and 37s on my Willys, and I'll have adjustable tack bars and the axles centered of course.

@setexascustoms I just got mine mounted this weekend. I’ll get some pictures of the poke. I have the sport axles, but I also went with an 11.5 inch wide tire. No lift. No rub.

Are those 37s? I didn't even know anyone made a 37x11.50
