Wheel offset to get optimal tire poke?

[Gladbrennan]

When you increase the width of a wheel it Muddy's the water a bit. Maybe this graph will help.

Thats a chart not a graph.Maybe that will help.

Yes. Still a chart.

Awesome shot! That answers a question many have had.

How’s the front? Have you had the opportunity to stuff a corner and turn the wheel for clearance? Any issues?

The "graph" helped me so much. Fitment is perfect, thanks Dougstdig.

Only rubs at full lock while stuffed, sway connected. Haven’t had a chance to disconnect and flex, it would surely rub without some bump adjustment. No lift, yet, Rubicon diesel. With Tazer getting 22.5 city 24+ hwy. Method 705 & BFG is less than 4# heavier than oe tire/rim combo per corner. Unsprung weight is a killer combined with increased leverage in neg offset rims, the juice isn’t worth the squeeze, imo.

Tires are in, wheels should be here this week.

Everything I can do to hold off installing the flare extensions. Found some specifically made for the JTR.

I love my Icon Rebound Pros!

I originally was looking at method 705’s because they were a little different, but still wasn’t super excited about them. I actually changed my order to the Icons. I like the design much better. Before settle, I got 4.25” in front and 2.5 to 2.75” rear out of my Clayton 2.5 Diesel overland kit.

I originally wanted to stay 0 to + on offset, but also know the value of increasing width to offset the rise in center of gravity.

I feel another plus that I at least place value in is the load capacity for the wheel. Most or many 8.5” wheels are 2,650lbs. For a normal vehicle that will always have 4 wheels on the ground I’m sure is fine. But the extra piece of mind with a 3,200lb capacity on a fairly light weight week is just a bonus in my book.
