Would love to see some pics of Fuel Beasts on an 18 JLUR bright White. Love these wheels though.

That looks great! Is your Rubicon "Granite Crystal Metallic"? I just bought a JLUR in the Granite color and have been looking at these Fuel Beast wheels. Some pics online look more gold and some more gray. How do they look in direct sun next to your granite paint (if that's your color)? On your pics it looks like it goes perfectly. Your set up looks really good!

Ok guys so...I got mine drop shipped from Custom Offsets (perfect shopping experience btw); 18x9 +1 offset Beasts w 305/70/18 Cooper STT pros. My question is regarding the center caps. They just barely snap in; even w the wire retention ring I can just easily pull them out by hand. It feels like one bump and these things are going to go flying. Is this normal? Am I supposed to fixate them in any way? Are they supposed to seat “deeper”? Thanks!

Perfect, I ordered the same due in today!
Looks great! I am ordering these rims too!!
Great looking wheels. I initially purchased the Fuel Vapors in 17", but didn't like how cluttered they looked compared to the Vapors in 18"+. Made the switch to the Fuel Beasts. Very clean, aggressive, and simple look to them.
I know this is an old thread but.....I joined the beast club - 17x9x-12 + Toyo 35x12.5 M/T's
I quoted all you guys to get your attention
My question is - What lug nuts are you using with your nice fuel beast rims?
I'm waiting on my 19' rubicon which is in JB for the last week and want to have everything set when she gets home
thanks ed

Use a dose of this (or a variation thereof) to secure those caps - it's surprisingly strong when there's no weight involved yet doesn't damage anything ever! Scotch brand has a version too.. The "original" is called Blue Tack, avail on Amazon.

It's also good for mitigating anything that vibrates - a little clump of it and no vibration.

Finally got Fuel Beast Wheels on my JLRU. 17x9 -12 offset. Stock KO2 tires and no lift. I'm planning on going up in tire size later on when I add a lift but I was shocked at the difference just the wheels made. Even the stock tires look bigger on the wider wheel with the -12 offset.

I have a single car garage and am wondering if my rubicon will fit in the garage with my tool sets on the side after my wheel tire upgrade? I’m going with 2 1/2 icon lift with 37” Ridge Grapplers on Fuel Beasts -12 offset. Has anyone measured to see how wide and tall it is that has this or similar setup?

Holy tire shine batman! Pray you dont have a flat you'll never be able to get ahold of that thing lol.

That's about the perfect offset imo.
