Thinking about going with 37s. Debating a black rhino wheel 17x8 with +30 offset or the Mopar Satin Black wheel 17x8.5 with +11 offset. Also debating the KO2 or Ridge Grappler. I like that the KO2 is about 10lbs less but also like the look/price of the KO2. I have an automatic rubicon and currently no lift. Any thoughts on those choices?

Ko2 are nice I run them myself on my wrangler, will get them on my gladiator once I buy a lift but I’d go with ridge grappler if I did it over again, wheels I’d go with black rhino imo the Mopar 8.5 might be better on the tire width your planning on running though

I wasn’t sure if the +30 offset would be too much, but I didn’t want to go with a super low offset and have the tire sticking out really far

So I have recently learned most lift manufactures dont want that positive offset from the wheels. I have 5x +25mm 17x8.5's sitting in my garage I am going to return just because of it.

From what I can tell its typically recommended to have 4.5" of backspace or less & I believe that those you listed would be about 5.7".

So keep that in mind if you intend to add a real lift.
