Welp I’m fucked then. God that’s frustrating. Wasn’t expecting to have to spend another couple grand on wheels. I really hate to use a wheel spacer like a bro dozer but I don’t know what choice I have

I am using AEV Borah wheels + 25 on 8.5 with 35x12.50/17 but JT Rubicon and no clearance prob and sure cant see a dif with a 2 inch mopar lift. 37s will be no prob on the 2 inch lift if you have the wide axle Dana and if not wide the the concentric spaces will work fine prob 3/4" min. +25 wheels work great on the Rubicon. They also keep your tires under the fender. The wide Dana Axles are the key. I think Mojave, Max Tow, and High Altitude are also wide Dana which is about 3/4" wider each side. Had a slight plastic rub 1 side front. Drilled a hole in it and pulled the inner plastic splash back a touch with a large zip tie. Going to try and reshape with heat gun.
Whether you go more backspace on wheel or space the wheel out with spacers, you put a lot more load on ball joints and suspension.

Manufacturers, Clayton, AEV, Synergy, and more, all say you need 0ish offset wheels but after two years of owning my truck, I haven't seen a good explanation for why this is. 35s work on factory suspension but not a lift? I don't get it it.
AEV wheels are at +25 for the JT.
