Fuel Covert , Kicker 5, KMC XD137

[actionplus]

I’m looking at these wheels as my final choices.
17” -12mm

Need a few inputs.

1. Can the stock TPMS be used with these wheels?
2. Will the values stick too much out the rim for the Fuel wheels?
3. Will I need to swap out the lug/nut of my 21 Rubicon.
4. How do these Fuel do off-road. I mean, I don’t want to structural damage these guys if they are not meant for off-road use too.
4. Anything else I should be thinking of while choosing one of these?

Thanks

Hey action I can offer a little help on the Fuel brand wheels, I have the Fuel D630 tactics 17x9 and I’m running the stock TPMS with no issues I originally had the -12 offset, I love the poke out look, but, ended up switching to +1mm offset, with the -12 running a 35x12.5 I was sticking out 3+ inches and it looked great, I was just getting rocks and debris flung everywhere. With the +1 I still am poking out about 2.5 inches from the fenders.. with Fuel I had to switch out the lugs to a skinny spline design the factory lugs will not fit..That being said they have held up great off-roading and are a pretty beefy wheel and have a great fit and finish..they are a little on the heavy side for a non beadlock so just keep that in mind if you throw one on the back for a spare and are running a bigger tire, a tailgate or hinge reenforcement bracket is probably a smart move especially if your going to be bouncing it around a lot off-road.. Other than that I have been super happy with the Fuels. Good luck to you my friend..

Thanks for the feedback.

I don’t really want them to stick out of the fender too much. Was hoping about 1in or so. Think 2 is fine. Guess I can’t change that too much anyways.

Thanks for the note on the lugs. Did not know it needed to be changed.
One store was offering me $100 for the lug/nuts addition to the fuel wheel. That’s why I asked.
