No clearance issues but I have not taken it offroad. They have a bit more inside clearance than the +44 17x7.5 factory rims just not sure about fenders at full squeeze.
If you go to the site below and compare a 285x70x17 on a 7.5 rim +44 offset vs 315x65x18 on 9 inch rim with +20 offset you can see the clearance is a bit better inside than oem. This is where I came up with my choice.
I think many shops don't realize the Rubi has wider axles and they want the negative offest to avoid clearance issues on Sahara and Sport models when going with wider rims.
Same here. I even was trying a bigger online shop today and they kept telling me I needed to have at lest a 0 on a 9" wheel. They also was telling me the 37's won't fit with a 2.5 lift. There all used too the JK.
Yep, Discount Tire kept asking me if I had a lift when I was tryjng to order my 35's. I would say no and then the guy would keep telling me they won't fit. I finally said I plan to get a lift so he would order my tires.
Awesome looking rig. Your pics made me order the fuel beasts- sitting in my garage. My JL is a week away- just got on a railcar yesterday...Just got new shoes!
Only thing I would add is a bit off topic. The 20x9 dont look as concave as the 17x9. Looks like a different wheel- much flatter appearance. Feel like you have to go wider like 20x12 to get back the look. I loved the 17x9 but would be disappointed with the 20x9. The stock pics and drawings dont really show how much different they look- at least to me.
