Wheel poke

[Noeyes]

I've got a Mojave gladiator and am in the process of getting a plan together for lift, wheels and tires. I've seen a lot of wheels I think would look really good but most have a 0 offset. I'm planning on running a 35x11.50 and and trying to keep the track as narrow as possible. Wranglers look good with wide offsets but to me I like to keep things flush with the fenders on a truck. Do any of you guys have any pics running a 0 offset so I could get an idea of how much they stick out? Really appreciate it.

Also should add I'm going with either a 17x8.5 or 17x9 if it matters.

IMO +25 17x8.5 gives the best fit width wise for a flush fit for the wide axle JTs.

I had a JK with AEV wheels and now have a JT with AEV wheels and they retain the stock offset the stock wheels had. No rubbing issues ever. The JT has 37's on it and no issues ever overlanding. No rock crawling, just street driving and overlanding. Vehicle drives perfectly, no wheel chatter hitting bumps. Wheels with excessive offset throw rocks and dirt all over the vehicle and are hard on wheel bearings. Stay with stock wheel specs.

You need +12 or greater wheels if you dont want any poke on 11.5 wide tires

Not a great pic, but these are 0 offset Warn Jackhammer rims.

I appreciate the replies. Looking at the aev site I think I'm probably going to go with one of their wheels in the +25 offset. Should help me keep it as close to stock as possible.

I TOTALLY disagree, I have over 100,000 miles I work in Dirt,Rock,Mud,Water, etc.. I had stock tires wore them plum out they threw mud they threw rocks,Got a set of Rock Blocks for front tires helped tremendously but didn't stop all of it especially in muddy conditions. Then I got 33" then 35" all those rocks all throw mud all throw water snow and debris . Get as big and fat a tire as you want , throw some flare extensions on to stop a little bit of it and don't worry about it after that. They have car washes and Garden hoses and pressure washers and paint pens for the rest. Get what ya want and run that beast !!!

I originally tried with stock wheels, but the left tie rod rubbed and ground on the inside of the L wheel. Had to go to the Methods with above offset to eliminate the problem. They have more poke than I would prefer, but physics is physics..... As you can see - even with front mudflaps, there is significant mud / dirt / rocks thrown up on the side.

Well we all have our opinions on the issue.

How are you liking those toyos? Those and the falken at4s are the 2 I've been looking at.

So far I'm liking them fine. If I could have gotten the Falken's when I needed them (3 months ago or so), I probably would have gone that direction, but the Falkens were not available and the Toyo's were HIGHLY recommended by my trusted local shop so..... All good so far.
