They will be fine for 35x12.5s (315/70/17) on a rubicon.
I am running stock wheels with that size tire on my rubicon and have the metal cloak control arms. I have no rubbing issues
Thanks for the help. I assume I will only start seeing issues if I run 37s or larger.

Well if 37s fit with stock or mopar control arms then they will fit with metalcloak control arms because the metalcloak arms are bent the same. Maybe someone has that setup with your wheels that can comment.

35" x 12.5" tire
18" x 9" rim
-12mm offset
4.5" backspacing

Mounting, balancing, and TPMS were done by ExtremeTerrain. Alignment was done by 4WheelParts. No issues there.

The only issue I ran into was a minor one - the stock lug nuts won't fit that concave rim. They're too fat to fit into the holes. But I was able to find some slimmer lugs at Pep Boys for cheap.
Thanks for this info. I’m trying to decide between the Beast and the ICON Rebound. I’ve got another week before my Sport S gets it’s lift done. :D

I’ve got an appointment to have a 3.5” lift installed next Tuesday, then I’ll have the new shoes installed..

Anyone have an idea of what 12.5” wide tires on 4.3” backspacing will look like? That is 8.5” wide wheel with -10 offset.

I’m nervous about how far they’ll stick out beyond the fenders.

I want to go out a bit but not too much.
My Black Rhino wheels came in today!!

315/70/17 LT Nitto Ridge Grapplers on matte bronze with matte black lip ring.

No lift. Rear tailgate reinforcement with relocation.

Your Rubi looks great with the Black Rhino Barstows. Do you mind sharing the wheel specs? I see they come in a 17x8 and a 17 x9.5. Also, any issues with mounting the spare and did you lose any of your view from the back up camera?
