Any suggestions for 17x9 +12 wheel fitment on a sport with 315/70s?

[Jamrock]

Hay guys. Just jumping in here. I got a great deal on some fuel kicker 5’s from a local shop. I plan on running 33’s soon. Does anyone know or have pictures of how these will fit? 17x9 -12 71.5

Dude...

I love those wheels. Are those the Anthracite with black rings? They should look awesome on your Jeep.

What do you have? A sport or Sahara? They will stick out a bit and give that wide wheel look. Hurry up and put them on so we can see some pictures.

I have a sport. 2 door. Anthracite gray and black ring is right and going on my anthracite jl. I cant wait to put them out and im glad theyll stick out. Looking for a more agressove look. The 33s will wait cause im still trying to decide between lift and 35s. But i will post it in about 2 weeks. I got all 5 for 1k tax included

The wheels outer bead will be 2.22" further out than your factory wheels.

Thank you. Thats good hopefully the look im going for. Not to far out but just enough. Now to consider the tires i want

That is a good price. Quadratic has them for 253 each.

You can also use Rubicon suspension parts to get a 1 1/2 inch lift.

Decisions... decisions...

RC 2.5” spacer lift on 35’s. These are -18 offset. -12 will be a little less poke.

I went with KMC 545 Trek, 17x9, 5" backspace, 0 offset, with Falken 315/70s. Really like the way they look, a bit wider track but not too far past the fenders, no rubbing stop to stop. I did add an AEV 2.5" lift at the same time. I am about 300 miles into the setup and no complaints so far.

Looks very nice. How much lift did you get out of the AEV lift?

Just a hair shy of 3.5". No bumpers or armor yet.

I like how this looks. I am totally confused on what size wheel we have and what size we need to go to with a lift. I have the JLU altitude with 18 x 7.5 black wheels.

My Sahara came with 18x7.5" wheels. As much as I liked them, the huge offset and narrow width just would not, in my mind, work with a 35x12.5 tire, which I really wanted. Plus, it's very hard to find a 35x12.5 that fits on a 7.5" rim. So I bit the bullet and bought the KMCs for just over $200 each. More than I wanted to spend, but in the long run 35x12.5x17" tires seem to be a lot cheaper and more readily available than 18" diameters. And, I got a great deal on the Falkens at $215 each delivered.

Do the tires throw up stones, etc. on the side of the Jeep? Asking because the wheels stick out past the fenders.

I haven't noticed that they do, but it's only been a few hundred miles. What I have seen is that it does throw a fine mist off the top of the tire in the rain, along the side of the Jeep.

But, almost every other Jeep I passed did the same thing to one degree or another, and I saw at least a dozen.

I was wondering the same thing, so I have inspected the Jeep for the past 8 days, every day, looking for chips in the paint, and haven't found any yet.
