Hey, my Jeep currently has a Rubicon suspension, Mopar lower control arms, and a Teraflex leveling kit with 35in AT3 on these wheels:

JJS4WD TACTIK T-743 Wheel in Matte Black for 07-20+ Jeep Wrangler JL, JK & Gladiator JT 92615.3020 | Jeep Parts Store in US.

I will be swapping over to 37s soon and I am thinking about different wheels. Want these, either the 17s or 18s. I would just stick to the 17s but the they are 8.5 wide, my current wheels are 9in wide so I am considering the 18s because they too are 9in wide. Here are the wheels:

ICON Alloys Rebound, Bronze, 17 x 8.5 / 5 x 5, -6mm Offset, 4.5" BS (1817857345BR)

ICON Alloys Rebound, Bronze, 18 x 9 / 5 x 5, -12mm Offset, 4.5" BS (1818907345BR)

Based on the specs will these stick out more, less, or the same as my current set up?

Any suggestions?

I also have 5.13 gears and Fabtec Fenders.

Thanks

James

Unless you just want them I wouldn’t spend the money. The 8.5” O offset should work fine unless the narrow axles are a factor with 37’s, the extra 1/4 in each side won’t stick out past the bulge anyway and be virtually unnoticeable. my 8.5’s with 12.50’s are about even with the XR extensions. Up to -12mm should be OK with narrow axles depending on your flares and if you don’t mind poke throwing rocks etc at your Jeep. I would stick with 17’s regardless for more tire options, more sidewall for off-road and ride on-road, also look at weight, the larger wheels are likely heavier….. 2c

The 18” Icons will stick out the most, the 17” Icons second, and your current zero offset wheels the least.

If you just want looks, the Icons are better looking than what you have, in my opinion.
