Wheels?! Wheels?! Wheels?!

Nice looking wheels man! What tire size do you have on? Can you take a picture of how much the wheel is sticking out the fender? Thanks!

Tires are 35x12.5r17s and the poke is minimal in the rear, but a bit more in the front due to the wider axles.

Best pics I have to show the poke. Not bad at all.

I really like the look man! You got the stock Rubicon axle?

Yup. I believe Max Tow has the same.

I went 35 on my Overland, but wish I went 37. If you go 37, make sure it's a 37 that fits in the spare tire location.

To help you, like most people have said...there are a ton of options but you just have to decide what you want your truck to look like and also what are you going to be doing with the truck. If it is a daily driver and you don’t off-road and like 20s, go for it. If you daily drive and like to wheel a little on the weekend like myself, go for 35s on stockers or find a wheel tire package you like. If you want tire sticking out, go negative offset, if you don’t want tire poke, go for a positive offset. It all boils down to what you want your truck to do and what you personally like aesthetically.

if you like ideas, I don’t like a lot of tire poke and do light wheeling so I chose to go 17” with a +30mm offset with Kenda 35x10.5. I played around here for a month:

before deciding what set up I wanted. It was good to see the difference from the factory set up to what new combo you want, how far out they will stick out and fill up the wheel well. Hope that helps and good luck searching. Keep us posted on what you decide!

Wow, that looks nice! I was going to ask, how are you not rubbing inside with such an offset, but then noticed you are using a 10.5" wide tires. I like the wheels a lot, but not sure about the narrower VS wider flotation tires. What are your thoughts here?

You should be able to run a 12.5” wide tire on the same +30 offset rim, stock is +44 though narrower and AEV wheels are 17x8.5 with a +25 and they build JTs with 35” and 37” tires on their wheels with no issues.

What size tires are those?

Had the same dilemma. Went ahead with my 35's with new 17" rims, 0 offset. Made sure rim was appropriate for the tire. Factory rims are a little narrow.

I bought these 17" white Quadratec CJ Retro Alloy wheels last year for my white Willys Wrangler and kept them when I traded it in for my 22 Gladiator Altitude. I got a set of the 285/70/17 KO2 to go with them.

Same rims I had on my 82 Dodge Love Van!

Looks great.
I got the same ones and the same vinyl center cap decals. We could be twins

Thanks. Your truck gave me the inspiration to get the whole setup even though I went with the KO2 in 285/70r17. I would have gotten the Grabbers but wanted the lower weight C rated KO2.
