Great, thanks.Yes. I run a tall-ish Cooper STT Pro tire and when loaded with mud they will rub when stuffed but a dry tire, no issues.

I have only seen -12 on Sport and Sahara models. The Rubicon axles are wider so -12 would stick out quite a bit on yours.I currently have the Black Rhino Warlord in a -12 offset, didn't realize they would stick out as far as they do, the only other option for this rim is the +30, I absolutely love the Black Rhino Rims in the gunmetal as it perfect for the color of my Jeep. I live in NS Canada, so roads are crappy and backroad even crappier...lol, and we also have ugly winters, too much spitting up side of Jeep from the offset sticking out so far, although the -12 if aggressive and looks good, its not what I wanted
You are dead wrong, it would stick out no more than it does on the Rubicon. True that the Rubicon have wider axles than Non-rubicons, but Rubicon fenders are also wider than non-Rubicons buy the same amount.I have only seen -12 on Sport and Sahara models.

On the other hand, +30 sounds a bit high. Have you tried looking for another wheel in the color that you like?
Please post a picture of your Jeep so we can see what it looks like now.
I suspect that we are talking about different things.You are dead wrong, it would stick out no more than it does on the Rubicon. True that the Rubicon have wider axles than Non-rubicons, but Rubicon fenders are also wider than non-Rubicons buy the same amount.
Well, if the Rubicon and non-Rubicon are fender less, then you are right saying that they would stick out more on the Rubicon since their axles are 1.5 “ wider or 3/4” per side. But if both vehicles have their fender on, they would stick out of the fenders equally since the Rubicon have wider fenders to compensate for their wider axles.I suspect that we are talking about different things.
I am speaking about the difference between the outer edge of the wheel and the Jeep's body. If I am understanding you correctly, you are speaking about the difference between the outer edge of the wheel and the Jeep's fender.
Wheels with -12 offset are a good way to give a Sport or Sahara a wider, more aggressive stance.
Take a look at Snoopy

I was hoping that the OP would have posted some pictures so I could see what they look like on a Rubicon. I would expect them to stick out more with the wider axles.
Do you have any pictures from directly in front or behind? I want to see how far the wheels stick out.35" tires and Vapor Fuel Wheels and -18

The Rokblokz Mud flaps are removable for any rock crawling you might do. Takes couple of mins to remove them and same to put back on. They are the only removable ones I know of.Thanks.
I guess the mud flaps will be necessary since they extend past the fenders.
