Mojave Offset & Backspacing

[RJW10877]

OP I hope you don't mind me jumping in on your thread... I am in the same boat. I really like the look of a more solid style military look. I was thinking of the Black Rhino Arsenal, Armory or the warthog.

My new JT is Sting Grey and I prefer an all matte black wheel. I cant seem to wrap my head around the offset and back spacing. I want to run 35" on 17 but not sure of the offset\backspace to keep it in spec and as little poke as possible.

I am open to suggestion on other wheels in the same style but cant seem to wrap my head around the exact wheel size, width, offset and back spacing...

Thanks in advance!

I don’t mind at all. The more, the merrier.

@Discount Tire & @RJW10877 Thanks for the reply. I have a vision of what she should look like

One last thing any issues with stress on the knuckle for being a bit out of spec or any grief from service folks blaming the wheel\tire combo for things?

I have 8” wide wheels with wheel spacers that make them equivalent to +6 offset. I also have wide axles. And 12.50 wide tires.

Great visual. Looks like the +6 is an 1.5" of poke?

Yeah, pretty close. Maybe 2" at the widest point of the tire.

Ok guys. What did your 35 " tire & wheel combo weight each? I think I read that stock Mojave is about 88lbs. << fact check please

I am interested to know the impact on performance you noticed due to the larger and heavier tire/wheels on acceleration, steering...

If I go with the Black Rhino Warthog which is 25.96 lbs. plus the BFG AT KO2 LT315/70R17C @ 62 lbs. that is 87.96 lbs so a bit of savings if my info is right .

Alternatively, the Nitto Ridge Grappler LT315/70R17E is 70 lbs. so 95.96 so a + 31 lbs. for all four.

Thanks in advance.

I think I’m about 90 lbs per wheel and tire.

Tires are 35x12.50x20 Goodyear Ultraterrain and weigh 60 lbs each. Guessing stock 20x8 wheels are about 30 lbs.

Acceleration and steering are both fine. Cruising in 8th is not. It’s not so much the weight, it’s the tire diameter and the 3.73 gears.

I have 4:10 so it should be ok with the tire size set correctly. Thanks!

stock wheels and tires are around 86 s your right on.

So the pics Toyfrog's rig, being zero offset, if you wanted the -12mm 9" rims, your tires would poke 1/2" more. I agree with Lunentucker about pretty much everything. I went with -12mm offset because I'm dumb and because I don't really care for the look of the rim being flush with tire. It also offers a little more protection for the rim. There is a small amount of added stress on components, but my wheel/tire package is light at around 93lbs. My steel spare weighs 91 lbs.

I have 8” wide wheels with wheel spacers that make them equivalent to +6 offset. I also have wide axles. And 12.50 wide tires.

So would a 7” wheel with a 1/34” spacer be less poke?

Stock wheel? I think they are all 7.5” except the ones I have.

If so, it would have about the same amount of poke.

I have 1.5” wheel spacers.

The Warthog wheel may be your best option as far as minimal poke. The 17x8.5 wheel with a 0 offset will sit right at the edge of the fender flares. Maybe just a tad (half an inch or so)out side of the fenders.

So, is my Mojave with 35x12.50x17 Baja Boss MT on Arsenal 17x9.5 -18 offset gonna look too wide or what. Dealer said Oh a couple of inches. Anybody
Have pictures with this size setup? HELP
