Any chance you can snap a picture of the insides at full lock? i just got the same tires and am about to pull the trigger on 8.5+18 but am still hesitant. Thanks.Here's 8.5+10 on 295/70/17s, not much outside the fender and no rubbing issues on stock suspension
Here you go, first shot is down the backside of drivers side full lock, nothing close.
Thank you!!Here you go, first shot is down the backside of drivers side full lock, nothing close.
2nd shot inside of passenger side on the front, again, no problems
3rd shot real close at the lower edge of plastic bumper trim, about 1/4" or less, but no problems at that tire diameter, any taller and trimming would be needed at stock height. Your +18 will be fine in that regard, much more than 8mm clearance lock to lock.
That's a pretty mild tire up-size so running a conservative (more positive) offset will be fine. If you plan to lift your Jeep down the road you would want a less positive offset to allow for suspension flex. No lift you could run a 17x8.5 +25 to keep tires close to the fender edge, if you plan to lift a +10 should be fine w/ those tires. If you plan to get larger & wider tires in the future then wheels at 0 or even a bit negative might be better.
Hi Sarah - Mine have a -12mm offset which makes my tires stick apx. 2"
do you have the Rubicon if so put 37s because it will lift it 3 inchs and with 35s it will have a big wheel gap if its a Rubicon
Sounds like a great setup, even for DD'ing!
