I really like these Black Rhino wheels. Thinking of going with these and some type of 35" A/T tires (undecided yet). Leaning towards a leveling kit on the front, and spacers on the back. I have the Sport S. I don't really understand all the negative and positive offset stuff, what I want to know is will these stick out past the fenders a lot? I don't like that look so trying to avoid. Will this work with the setup I've planned?

So, lets start from the end, They WILL stick out, the ones you posted the pic of? YA, ALOT.
There's more to this discussion, but ya, this is the quick answer.
OEM are a +44mm offset
I have the 17" Armorys, they have a -18 offset, they poke about 2.4" more than OEM
Those in your pic are 20" Armorys, they have a -44 offset. so that is 3.5" out ON EACH SIDE from OEM.

Ok good info thank you! So I need to look for something with much less (-)offset. The search continues...

I should clarify, the ones in the example picture I posted do come in 17x9.5 with -18 offset which is what I would be looking at, I think. So that would be closer to what I want, but still stick out some, yes?

That's what I'm running.
about 2.4" more than OEM.
Look at mine (link in sig) to give you an idea.

Yes, even the ones you posted recently will stick out. I have the Black Rhino Abams in 18 x 9.5 and -18mm offset and they stick out about 1.5" to 2" (eyeballing it, not exact measurement). If you do not have Max Tow, it will be less sticking out due to narrower axle.

+12mm Mopar Beadlock. I wanted them out just a little and these were perfect. Just to give you an idea what +12 looks like.

No max tow, so that should help. Thanks!

Sick rig... looks great man. Do you have a link to your exact wheels? I like that yours aren't as "deep" if that makes sense? That is what I am looking for... I went through several pages on your build and didn't see one (apologies if I missed it).

The 17x9.5 is not as deep as what you initially posted.
Actually, all the 9.5s are -18. they'll look like this pic.
