I seriously need help

[drdriller]

i am having 2” mopar lift installed and am planning on new wheels and tires. I am looking at 35 inch ko2. I want rims to put them on. There is back spacing and offset and stuff I don’t know. What diameter rim and backspace and offset do I need to get the tires to not stick out past my 19 rubicon Jl fenders? Thansk

4.5in backspace with 0 offset will keep you lined up with your fenders with 17x9 wheels. Tire width plays another roll. What wheels are you looking into and what size tires? 35x12.5?

This calculator is pretty helpful, plug in your OEM values and then try a few different setups. AEV has some wheels that are specific for the JL and have pretty high offsets, in the +25 range if keeping at the fender edge is your goal.

I’m looking at 35x12.5 and maybe 17 or 18 rims.

A 9” wide wheel with 0 offset actually has a 5” of backspacing. A 9” wide wheel with 4.5” of backspacing would have -12 offset.

There are a few threads explaining backspacing, offset, etc. I strongly recommend reading thru them & then asking questions if you're still uncertain... these guys know their stuff. This thread helped me understand before I committed to a new set, and I also found the tire size/offset calculator to be extremely helpful.
