Opinions before I order wheels/tires

[Ottoparts]

I'm really lacking knowledge when it comes to wheels, I have the 2" Mopar lift on my 22' Willys. I think I want 35 x 12.5s on 17" x 9 neg offset wheels. Questions are is that enough lift? How much poke? Pictures would be great. Also any recommendations on the best places to order especially if they mount and balance would be most helpful.

Mopar lift with 3/4 inch spacer in the front and 35s.

-9 offset with 12.5 width tires is too much, in my opinion. +6 was too much for me so I covered mine in XR fender flares, at -9 you'd be .6 inches further out on either side

Use this. It will show you how your new tire/wheel combo compairs to your stock setup?

Thanks, now I see that -12 offset is probably not a great idea. I would like some poke with the 35s. Does anyone know about how far they would sick out with 0 offset?

The stock offset should be stamped on the inside of your factory wheels.
I don't know what it is for the Willys line. That's your job.
Here's the Mojave (+37.17MM)

Use that as a baseline. Then simply calculate the amount of offset you need on the new rims based upon how much rim width you add.For example, a one inch wider rim adds about 25mm to the overall width, so you'd need -12 to -13mm off of factory offset to stay with the same inside position.

Q-techs retro aluminum CJ wheels are 17x8.5 and 5.2" of back-spacing and 11mm offset
This is with 35x12.50. I have a hard time keeping the side of the truck clean the way it is. I wouldn't want anything sticking out further

I'm relatively sure your axles are wider than the stock Willy's trim.

That's what I'm looking for right there, I do also like the really wide stance but I throw mud all over the side now with these puny stock mud tires! +11 or 12 offset seems the best choice for the look I want without throwing too much debris onto the sides. Thanks

Look at Custom Offsets Gallery, its the best place to see how your setup looks from other peoples vehicles. You can specify everything and see who has your same setup.

These are Patagonia MTs on https://www.battlebornwheels.com/collections/beadlock/products/gate-keeper-offroad-beadlock-black battle born 17x9 beadlocks. its a 34" (295-70R17)tire but I have no lift on my overland edition. They clear with just gutted fenders. A true 35x12 would clear easily on a 2" lift.

UInless you wheel hard they will also clear on a totally stock overland edition.

Man that is fantastic! Thanks, had I known about that site I wouldn't have had to waste everyone's time?To be able to actually see exactly how the setup you are thinking about will look on your truck is so great. Appreciate all the help.
