Hi all, I'm new here and to the Jeep world in general with my '19 JLU sport I just picked up this weekend that will be mostly a daily driver with some light off road action for the foreseeable future.

Naturally, the first thing I'd like to do is get some new wheels and tires to put on it. I did a search and and didn't find anything about these wheels so was looking to see if anyone had any experience, opinions or reviews on them. Probably looking to just do 33s for tires after reading more and knowing how I'll use it for the time being.

Same here- looking to pair with 35s if I can get an actual testimonial that they’re legit.

The Rock Trix ones I liked were out of stock so long I said forget it and ended up going a different direction. Hopefully picking my new choice up this coming week!

Since you'd be lifting to fit the 315s I'd think you'd have issues w/ the +12, that extra near inch of clearance you'd get w/ the -12s would be a better fit (especially on the trail).

I’m gonna be completely honest with you man- these won’t be seeing many trails for the time being. I’m just worried about rubbing at full turn. I feel like putting such an extreme offset would wear out my bearings and stuff faster, so if I can fit the +12 without turning rub, I would.

I prefer positive offset wheels too, keeps scrub radius closer to stock and prefer tires closer to the fender edge. My 295/70s rubbed that plastic euro panel between the bumper and fender (before I swapped to Rubicon suspension), but not much. The 315s you'd rub quite a bit there without a lift and be pretty close to the rear of the lower control arm at full lock. There was a thread or posting about adding washers to the steering stop on the knuckles to keep from rubbing there at full lock, but can't dig that up :(

If it were me I think I'd stick to a max 34" tall tire like a 285/75/17 (being 30mm narrower than that 315 should clear everything just fine), will be a bit easier on the stock high gearing of the Sport too :)

Are you planning on a lift anytime soon? A Rubicon suspension swap works perfect there

I’m running the RT105s in Satin Bronze on my OBM JLU. Haven’t wheeled it yet, but for the price point the fit and finish is excellent. Customer service has been great too....they’ll even send you a free tire patch kit when you submit a photo to share!

I just bought a set of the rt110's. Getting them mounted today so no experience yet. I will post an update after a couple of trails. Inspecting them out of the box they look good though. And like Yondu_JLU said, for the price point, worth taking a chance.

Ive been running the RT105s for a few months now and haven't had any issues. I do moderate wheeling with them
Any pics? Which offset are you running? Want to know how much the tires stick out of the fender.
