Can you confirm the offset is positive 18? Seems like everything I'm finding is a negative 18 offset... The amount of tire sticking out is exactly what imI looking for...
Yes, +18 confirmed (see attachment.) This is the perfect offset for my use/taste.
Sorry for the delayed response.

So with the -6mm offset is everything clearing ok, no rubbing?? If I understand backspacing correctly -6mm sticks out a little less than -12mm, correct? I like the more tucked look and less debris getting kicked up. I was planning on going with a 315, is the lower backspacing why you went with a slightly smaller tire?

The only rubbing I got was at full turn of the front wheels and they rubbed the front plastic piece that goes between the bumper and fender. I took a Dremel and shaved off an inch at the bottom and no more rubbing. I went with the smaller tire so I wouldn't have to worry about rubbing and spending more money replacing stuff like the spare tire carrier and so on. If I would have got the 315 in the stt pro I don't believe it would fit on the stock spare tire carrier, the 295 sits maybe a 1/4" above the bumper. I don't know anything about backspacing, I let the guys at the tire place figure that out, but I like that the tires set out just a bit from the fender, just looks good to me.

I totally agree. One of the best looking stock rims for sure. My issue is trying to find a C rated (or even D rated) tire in 35' size that fits well on the stock rim and looks good too.

I guess this would be the one (https://tiresize.com/tires/BFGoodrich/All-Terrain-TA-KO2-315-70R17.htm) but some people say the measure small and I think I've seen a few pics were they do look a bit small on the Rubicon even in stock height / no lift.
I stuck with stock wheels, went to 35 KO2 and have Mopar 2" lift (seem more). 35s seem plenty big enough to me. Not getting the mileage some say getting, but live in mountain terrain with nothing flat.
