I've been looking at wheels for the future.

If you know of an 8" wide wheel with 4.75 - 5.25" BS or +6mm / +13mm offset, please post it here. Alum, alloy, steel is fine, black is preferred.

Thank you.

Thats very specific combination .. a lot of 8" wheels are high positive offset.
there are more options in the 8.5" but I presume you are running skinny/10.5" width tires so thats not an option.

Mopar XR wheels are going to be your best bet..

the vendors who are making replicas of the XR wheels are going 8.5 or 9"

8.5" replica - https://www.extremeterrain.com/defi...n-black-wheel-17x85-df01-17080-5127-12b1.html

9" replica - https://agpwheels.com/products/17-a...aWmyXF22zO6CNXI3lry5kqs18uo-uv19PoEj0A9h_yQVI

No, mine are 7.5" wheels. I'm leaning towards 8" for the future.
Then yours isnt an xr. The eXtreme Recon package gets you the 8 inch rims with more negative offset (+12mm vs +44mm) and 35 inch rubbers, fender flair extensions and 4.56 gears.

Correct, I just have a sport. I'm considering new wheels for the future with the skinniest tire I can run on an 8" wide wheel. I currently run 255/80r17 on the factory steel 7.5" wide wheel.

Future maybe an 8" wide wheel on 285/70r17 tires.

285/70 is not a problem on the 7.5. If you need some spacing just add a spacer
