Stock Rubicon Wheel Weights?

[steffen707]

Anybody have the specs on the stock rubicon wheels? width, backspace, offset, weight?

With all these new tires going on, somebody please grab a bathroom scale and a tape measure.

They are no different than the majority of JK / JL wheels.

Size: 17" x 7.5"
Lugs: 5
Bolt Pattern: 5 Inch / 127mm
Offset: 44.45mm

What about weight on the OEM wheels. Seems to be an allusive spec.

this is one thing I don't get. this saying 44.45mm offset, when wheels like fuel, black rhino are quoting offset like -12mm to +6mm.

Are these wheels really 1.75" positive? i forgot about centerline, found this info online,
So without the centerline or backspace, I don't think you can calculate the other.


HOW TO MEASURE A WHEEL OFFSET:
TO CALCULATE THE WHEEL OFFSET, YOU WILL NEED THE FOLLOWING MEASUREMENTS:
Wheel backspace (see above)
Wheel width
Wheel centerline (outboard flange to inboard flange measurement, divided by 2)

ONCE YOU HAVE THESE MEASUREMENTS, YOU NEED TO SUBTRACT THE WHEEL CENTERLINE FROM WHEEL BACKSPACE TO GET THE OFFSET.
If backspace is less than the wheel centerline, the offset is negative
if backspace is greater than the wheel centerline, the offset is positive

so if the stock wheels are 7.5" wide, center is around 3.75", positive offset of 1.75", would mean the outside of the wheel is 2" past hub. assuming the 5.5" backspacing you quoted below.

The fuel recoil wheel is 8.5" wide, with a backspace of 4.5", doesn't that mean the outside of the wheel sticks out 4" past the hub?

So if I don't want it to stick out that much, I need to rethink some things.

44.45mm = 1.75" + 3.75" (half of wheel width) = 5.500" of backspacing. Most aftermarket wheel companies would call it 6.0" of backspacing. The 44.45mm offset is why the wheel appears to have such a flat and flush face. A ZERO OFFSET on the same aforementioned wheel would push the wheel out away 1.75". Offset and width determine backspacing.

looks like for the least amount of sticking out of the fender one needs to look at

Stock wheel 2" frontspacing
AEV JL Savegre II - 2.73" frontspacing
Stockton Series 51 (from wayout concept) 3" frontspacing

seems like most of the others are going to be right around that 3.75" to 4.5" from hub face to front of rim.

Mopar beadlock capable wheels have what you would call "frontspacing" of @3.5"

Its not my term,

It's kind of like the opposite of backspacing lol. Just own the term already!

Like Fronthole and Backhole and we can't can't forget the tophole :eyeroll:

Anybody who's done bigger tires on stock wheels, what weight are the stock wheels?

 

[MotoBrad]

I still really want to know the weight spec of the stock wheels! I'm a wheel snob, and I can't find a definitive answer
