-12 or -38 offset

[JeepAndrew]

i’m changing my wheels and tires tomorrow and I’m trying to decide on -12 or -38 offset for 17 x 9 wheel. I just wanna get some opinions on which one I should get I plan on putting coil overs in three years but right now I’m putting on a Rancho 3 inch lift if I get a -38 I don’t have to switch out my wheels for the coil overs, but if I get a -12, I would have to.

-38 will stick way outside the fenders. Usually a wheel like that is used for big lifts and 37” plus tires.

I’m putting 37s as well tomorrow

-38 offset reminds me of a Brodozer. Way too wide. Just my opinion.

This is stock

This is with a 1.75" spacer with stock tires

Sorry I can't remember what the B/S was stock I think it's 5".
This should be 1/4" more both sides than -38 which is 3.5"

I didn't take a good pic of the rear with 1.75" spacers and 37"s with -12 4.5" HTH

Swapped from +18mm Racelines to -44mm Methods when I chanced to beadlocks, mainly because of the limited offset availability on beadlocks. My MC lift cleared +18mm except I could touch the sway links up front. 37"x12.50 KO2s on +18mm vs 38x13.50 TGs on -44mm, fenders are Maxterrain/Hyperforms:

38" on - 38
BBut beadlocks are a bit wider than what you are looking for. I will warn you that the increased offset wears ball joints faster.

Your electric rioter zapper setup looks pretty sweet.

Yes Sir, Went in the back way. Didn't realize it was so close to homes.

thanks for all the opinions. I decided to go with -12 and it looks nice. Will be putting on a lift in 2 months
