Bumping this thread to see if any new additions.

considering changing my Rubicon wheels but don’t want to lift at this stage.

Considering alloys with an offset which provides a slightly wider stance(fitted with my standard 32” M/T
OR
Fitting 33” tyres.

Anyone tried different wheels with same tyres but with wider stance (without spacers)?
Same articulation archived or less because of fender edges?

also looking at Fuel or Method wheels. The weight of them does put me off though as the rubicon alloys appear to be very light weight in comparison.

Interested in all options.
Thanks
I am likely in the minority here, but I don't care of the "wide" look either. I prefer a taller, skinny tire. As you live in the UK, I would imagine a fatter tire would not be beneficial to mud driving.

I think the max I would go to is 33 at moment but I think I would be happy with a set of black alloys with same mud terrain tyres I have at present (stock rubicon 32’s) but with wheels that have an offset that makes the tyres flush with edges of fender.
If that makes sense.

Your stock wheels have a +44mm offset. To go wider, you can try a wheel down to +6 mm offset. Below that, you may start rubbing on the fender outer edge with your 33's at full flex.

If you don't wheel hard, on street you can go even with 35's and any offset.
