I believe I got this from Discount Tire's website, but from a backspacing perspective according to this 8.5" with 0 offset is equivalent backspacing to 9" with -6 offset.

If this assumption is wrong, please let me know because I'm struggling with the same issue. I can't find many wheels I like for my truck with the specs that fit without being obnoxious (sticking way out).

I'm having the @Clayton Off Road 2.5" lift installed this week and I've read that they require 4.5 backspacing to run 37x12.5's on a Rubi. I'm currently looking at Black Rhino 9.5" with -18mm offset for that reason, but I don't really want them poking out that far and I can't find a 8.5" wheel I really like.

I got the Ion 9" wheels that have 0 offset and 5" backspacing: https://www.extremeterrain.com/ion-...pe-171-matte-black-wheel-17x9-171-7973mb.html Extreme Terrain has a lot of options and many at 9.5". I'm only going to run 35s though, so they shouldn't protrude that far out with 0 degree offset and 5" backspacing.

Our recommended spec is actually 4.75, and honestly Rubicons with the wider axles can even get a little closer to 5". :)
