First thread for me, looking for some Wheel info

[jdinny]

So, long time Jeeper, from my '47 CJ2a to my Gladiator.
Been in the JK world since they came out, still have a few. Picked up a '20 Gladiator Rubicon and we're really liking it. Wife's nagging me to get wheels and 35's on it, good wife right?
Got it down to a couple of wheels from KMC, the GRS or the IMS.
The backspacing and offsets from the JL/Gladiator world totally different than the JK and CJ world.
I was looking for the IMS in +25 mm, and they have them listed on a 1 - 3 month backorder. I found the GRS in 0mm, and we're curoius as to have far they will "poke" out of the flares?
Anybody running this combo that could share some pics with me, doesn't have to be KMC's but the 0mm, 4.75 B/S.
I'm looking through all the threads I can find to get some ideas.
Anyway, thanks for the help from anyone willing to share.
Have a great day

The wheel/tire in the avatar Mojave . is 17x8.5 with 4.5" backspace tires are 35x11.50s YES I have poke out about 1 tread with stock fenders.
AI says:
Backspacing for a +44.45 mm offset on a 7.5-inch wheel is approximately 6.25 inches.

How that number is calculated Backspacing is determined from wheel width and offset:
Backspacing=(Wheel Width2)+(Offset25.4)
For the Gladiator Rubicon’s 17×7.5J wheel: Wheel width: 7.5 in Half width: 3.75 in Offset: 44.45 mm = 1.75 in
Backspacing=3.75+1.75=5.50 in
But Jeep measures wheel width between bead seats, not total physical width. The actual physical width is closer to 8.5 inches, adding ~1 inch total (½ inch per side):

Backspacing=4.25+1.75=6.00–6.25 in

This is 37x12.5 on a 0 offset Method with Nemesis fenders. Slightly slimmer fender profile so take that into account. Poke is very acceptable. I’ll occasionally get a rock kick up into the slider but not too often.

Like the look in your avatar pic, not too much poke at all.
Thanks for the info

Looks pretty good, not to muck poke with the narrow Nemesis fenders.
Thanks for the pic

Here’s a good visual wheel offset calculator https://tiresize.com/wheel-offset-calculator/

This is a picture of mine with those offsets and backspacing but on 34's

 

[OffAxis2021]

35x10.5x17
17x8.5 and 0 offset.

I do have a 2” F/R lift which may somewhat affect visually. IJS

Like that look for sure.
Tires don't stick out to far at all.
Thanks for sharing
