Rubicon fenders on sport s non max tow

[Tommyd]

I just finished installing rubicon fenders on my sport s non max tow. The problem is my axles aren’t as wide as a rubicon or max tow. Now my stock sport wheels are tucked in to much.
I’m going to buy wheels and tires. My question is would a 0 offset 4.75BS wheel stick out any or at least be flush? Anyone have experience with this setup. I don’t care to have any tire outside the fenders but I will tolerate a little for 37 inch tire clearance.
many help would be greatly appreciated!

They should stick out with a 0 offset. If I recall, the Rubicon rims are a +37 offset, the stock sport ones are +44.

Pretty sure Rubicon is +44 and the Mojave +37mm (slightly wider 14mm stance).

This is a sport non max tow with rubicon fenders and stock wheels with 285/75/17 open country’s.
new wheels are sitting in the garage with lift. Just waiting on tires.

Day late but there it is

Just going to 0 offset alone, no other changes, you're moving almost 2" outward with the wheel.

Assuming the new wheels are wider then it will sit out a little further. If you go with a wider tire, then the bulge over the wheel will set you out further.

Yeah you may be right on that. I went from the sport to the Mojave rims. I must have assumed Mojave and Rubicon were the same.

How easy was the swap?

Yeah, I'd like to hear more about this project too.

Rubi flares go right on without too much trouble.

Perfect. Now who has a set of fronts for me?

Not bad. Just took trial and error as I received the internals of the fender in pieces. Pretty straight forward. The extra clearance makes it nice though.

@Tommyd looks great.
