Zero offset is a 5" backspacing on a 9" rim, FYI a lot of lift manufacturers recommend a maximum backspacing of 4.5 for component clearance.

Hard to tell from the pictures if the simulated beadlock drains, but, if not, it ends up being a water/dirt catch.

Although it is completely your choice, if you plan to use the Jeep off road, I'd recommend downsizing to 17s for better air down performance, and more wheel protection from "curbing" on rocks. Should reduce your up front cost as well.

Others will likely recommend shying away from E loads due to ride quality, but I recommend making sure you convert the air pressure to make sure you have a good balance of load support/tire wear and comfort.

If you air down a lot TeraFlex has just come out with a larger variety of their wheels with the built-in deflators. It's just one of the many reasons that I love my Nomad wheels.

May be tough to find. If you're looking to do an MT like the Trail Grappler instead of a hybrid AT like the RG in your original post, there are a couple other good options, BFG KM3, Cooper STT Pro, MT Baja Boss MT, etc. All look to be available at Discount Tire.

Picking wheels can be one of the toughest decisions a vehicle owner has to make. However, the wheel choice is all on you. It's your Jeep, pick what you like and go with it.

As far as finding those Nitto tires, send a PM to @Discount Tire. He helped me find the Toyo ATIII tires I put on my Willys. He made all the arrangements to get them to my local store and made sure I got the discounts available at the time.
