Smoothie wheels/37" Nitto Trail Grapplers - 5" offset?

[Rummie]

So I'm looking at Wheel Vintiques smoothie wheels with 37" Nitto trail grapplers. Anyone with experience that can tell me what that offset will look like compared to factory? Or better yet, have a picture of a similar setup?

Seems that a 5" backspace isn't going to work with the lifts I am looking at. Luckily you can get custom backspacing on these wheels from the factory.

What would you put the backspace at given the choice?

The jeep wayout concept used those wheels with BFG KM3 tires.

I have a set of the 17 x 8. If I recall right the 9" adds to the outside lip and the backspace remains the same. Watch your lug nut torque up if you get them. The factory lug nuts were acting like they bottomed on the studs before coming up to torque.

If you want tell me what kind of photos you want and I'll get them for you

Great info.

I started to type up a bunch of questions for you and then noticed that you have a build thread and took a look. I remember admiring your Jeep a while back. Excellent job!

The thread answered all of my questions for me. Thanks.
