Then maybe it'll be me posting a picture for you
Not gonna say i don't wanna see pics; I always do. But at this point it won't influence my purchase decision since the +6 steelies are already sitting in the basement (currently have 10 of them because quadratec screwed up and sent me a double order and double charged me, and their refund process is slow) and the kendas are with fedex so they'll arrive sometime between 2 minutes from now and the heat death of the universe

One of the things that forced my hand on the mojave was the 4.10 because I knew I was gonna want 35s. I briefly played with the idea of a MaxTow because my wife enjoys driving my current automatic willys (long story, effectively a long term loaner that I could only pick color) and maybe it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to have an automatic... but i just couldn't do it. I taught her to drive stick almost a decade ago on my FRS when we were dating, so I know at the minimum she's got the proper mindset to learn manual. Wont be that hard to teach her again.
I noticed zero difference going from 3.73 with 35s to my Mojave with 4.10. Exact same tires and wheels. In the Dallas area, so no big hills but enough ups and downs on the tollway, etc. Same shift points, lots of driving in 7th gear manually shifting to 8th when it wouldn't kick back down. Biggest thing I noticed was a drop in gas mileage.

But yours is automatic. Big difference. We 6 speed folks will notice.

True story.

Made a big mistake buying a preowned Wrangler with 3.21 one time with M/T. Only had 32s, but that was a miserable driving experience.

So I know I asked the question, but I hate when people who ask the question find out the answer elsewhere then slink away into the night without sharing for people who might find the thread later with the same question.

It's more poke than I'd prefer but it's definitely within my acceptable range. For wheels I paid $71 a piece for its hard to complain. If I was in the market for $300 rims I'd still get +25 offset

Looks pretty good to me, maybe slightly too much poke. Coming from a ‘17 Silverado with 33’s and a 2 inch spacer, I can say that I won’t be making the same mistake again whenever I get to pick up my Mojave.

8", 8.5", 9" , 10" wide rims will have a different offsets to maintain the same backspacing. Wish people would say the rim width to when posting.

Here's a chart on offsets and backspacing.

I don't know why this confuses me so much. LOL
