Assistance with Wheel Fitment on 21 Rubicon

[mandrew]

I am looking to swap my factory wheels for some aftermarket wheels, and while I am open to other variants I have narrowed down my list to the following three options:

Black Rhino Arsenal	Method MR703	Warn Epic Jackhammer
17x8.5 / 30 Offset​	17x8.5 / 0 or 25 Offset​	17x8.5 / 0 Offset​

I am not at all clear on offset/backspace, although with the exception of the Method MR703, I have no options for that. The Method MR703, however, comes in either 0 or 25 offset, and I have no idea which I should select. My plan is to mount my existing Falken Wildpeak M/T 285/70/17 tires on them and then move into the next size, 315/70/17, down the road. In any case, my questions are:

1. Will these wheels fit on my 2021 Unlimited Rubicon without issue, both with the current tires and with the larger tires or do I need to do anything to the Jeep?
2. Will these wheels fit on the factory spare tire carrier with a backup camera? I feel like I've seen reports that the Black Rhino wheels will not, but I can't find anything definite.
3. Do the factory TPMS sensors get moved to the new wheels?
4. Is there anything else I should be aware of?

Thanks.

So, what did you choose? My buddy has those Warn wheels on his stock Rubicon and they look really nice. He is running 35x12.5r17 tires.

So, what did you choose?.

I went with the Method MR703 with 25 offset in black. Since I like the look of all of them, the biggest factor for me was weight. Unfortunately they have been on order since June, and there is still no confirmed delivery date as of yet.

I'm now considering dropping my order for the Methods since they still haven't come in, and I ordered them in June. Thinking of the Black Rhino Arsenal, assuming there isn't a huge delay on those as well.

Just got off the phone with Discount Tire. It looks like the wheels I ordered in June have finally shipped and will be here at the end of this week. So, hopefully that means that I will be getting the new wheels installed next week.

Wheels were delivered today, and Discount Tire had me come in for a last minute appointment for install. Everything was done quickly and I’m thrilled with the results.

Bonus: I may have already found a buyer for the original wheels.

Thanks, @Discount Tire for your help.

This is so great to see! I was wondering if you would be able to get the set installed before next week, glad that happened for you!

Your rig looks absolutely fantastic; thank you for giving us the opportunity to help!

Looks awesome. I'm considering the same wheels. What size tires did you go with and would you be able to show how much they poke out from the fenders?

Looks good - can you post some head on and straight back shots. Curious on the amount of poke. Tia

What size tires did you go with...

These are the original Falken Wildpeak M/T 285/70/17 tires that came with the vehicle. They are 32.8 inch diameter and 11 inch width.

...and would you be able to show how much they poke out from the fenders?

...can you post some head on and straight back shots.

Certainly. Let me give the sun a chance to come up and I'll get a few and post them.

Here is a shot of both the front and back tires. According to online calculators, this tire and wheel combo should stick out approximately 1" further than the factory wheels. These pictures aren't the best, and the Jeep is parked on a slight hill so it is leaning to the right, so I may try again when I'm out today if I can find a level parking space with a little more room to get decent pictures..

I really like the 25-30mm offset options that don't poke out like crazy. What tire size did you go with?
