Lift tires and wheels?

[6006spd]

Guys I am trading in my 21 gasser rubicon for a ecodiesel rubicon I thought I could live with the gas but I can’t diesel runs through my veins, LoL any way my dealer has got me the exact same gladiator right down to same colour and options, I want to lift and do 37s, but I am the guy that don’t care for tires sticking way out, I wanna stay with 17 inch rims so in saying this what do you recommend for wheels? /backspacing? Etc and if you have any pictures that would be great! Thanks!

Like @Mac said. Aev Pintlers or Saltas should be perfect.

Yes, but I am running 35s not 37s AEV’s website has a lot of pictures of JTs with 37s on their wheels which have the specs I listed.

2.5 RC/0.75" Daystar spacers, 1.5" wheel spacers. 37 x 11.5 on OEM Rubicon wheels. No rubbing even full flex. I took off wheel spacers and had BAD rubbing against control arms at full lock.

I run 38x13.50 and have ran 37x12.50 on the same 17x9 +18 wheels with good results. Very conservative poke , good tuck . First pic 37s , second 38s.

They seem to fit nice and don’t stick out much? Those are the tires I want to run, what off set? Thanks

They are +25mm offset 5.72" of backspacing. They stay pretty tucked in which is nice depending on what you are looking for!
