Well I screwed up imo and didn't properly research and pencil out proper backspacing on our Gladiator and the tires stick out further than I like. Looks okay and doesn't have the skateboard look but I like my tires to as close to flush as possible. So I penciled out a chart and just wanted to share in case others need to reference. I purchased -18 wheels based off other Jeep's that I seen using www.customwheeloffset.com. After penciling it all out before I ordered wheels for our 392 I realized part of my issue when I went to the AEV site for the wheels for the 392 and realized the JK and JL have different backspacing. -18 is basically 2.25" further outward and that isn't including the added width of running a wider wheel than the 7.5" OE wheels. So I went with the AEV Pintler for our 392. Down the road I may sell the wheels we have on the Gladiator and go over to the AEV Pintler as well. I just like the OE look of the Pintler compared to most of the current wheels on the market. Bonus that they build their wheels to try and retain the flusher look as well. I'll post some pics of the 35x11.5R17 Nitto next week when I get them on the 392.
