I really like the tire carrier but wonder about visibility out the rear window. I even thought about purchasing a rear view mirror camera but have no found on that is “always on”

There Is almost no usable rearward visibility with a 37. I had a UPS truck behind me and couldn’t see it in my rear view at all, but it looks cool

I know that, but apparently Fuel doesn’t as they market it as a +6 and are insistent that it will measure 5” exactly.

Hm. Is that according to Fuel or the place you bought them? I see they say 6mm on their website. Maybe you got some custom forged ones by mistake?

Looks awesome!

BTW, a hair over 5” means a 7.4mm offset.

7.4 mm = 0.291”
6 mm = 0.236”

Backspace = wheel width divided by 2 plus offset plus 1/2”

So:
7.4 mm offset = 5.04”
6 mm offset = 4.

Funny you said custom. I did order from Custom Offsets which is something I will never do again. Quite possibly the worst online buying experience with the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced.

Funny you said custom. I ordered from Custom Offsets which is something I will never do again. Worst buying experience with even worse customer service. As far as Fuel goes they only list +6 or -6 in 17x8.5 so who knows, but thankfully they fit.

Before and After pics of the LED tail lights that I ordered from CJ’s Off Road. I’m really loving the new look and am so glad that I went with the Cherry Reds instead of the Smoked or Clear especially because they match the third brake light perfectly.
