Looking for new Wheels...

[Paluss]

Wow, looking for wheels is not as easy as I thought it would be (big headache lol!), so many choices and specifications for wheels. Looking for a 17 inch wheel (17x8, 17x9) (I have 35s on my 22 JLURD stock ride height) at a reasonable weight (32 lbs or less), and a stance where the tread is even or no more than an inch outside of the fender. I found this picture of a wheel I like but cant read the name/brand of wheel. Any help is much appreciated.....

Hard to tell when zoomed in. Maybe Method, Pro Comp, or Dirty Life? At least those are what jumps to mind.

As far as wheel buying in general, I'd highly recommend that you first decide whether or not your Jeep will ever be lifted. Most lift kits require certain maximum backspace measurements. A wheel that keeps the tires flush with or just an inch beyond the fenders will not meet that requirement, and it would suck having to wheel shop all over again.

Happy hunting, buddy!

Those are definitely Pro Comp wheels! ?

I have Pro Comp series 33’s myself. ?. Good wheels!

Mike nailed it. Pro Comp. Also very good point about lift in future ??

Good choice in wheels, let’s go ahead and get to talking about how much lift you’re looking at going? You’re running 35s now and a 1.5” Clayton kit would get you proportional. You could go up to 2.5” in Clayton, Rock Krawler, or Metalcloak for when you switch to 37s! No need to regear!

Thanks guys you all nailed it, and good advice on future ride height and lifts.

I picked up RACELINE WHEELS RT81 ROCK 8 SERIES SATIN BLACK BEADLOCK on BF for $329 each if your interested in off road performance.

That's what I did, RK JL 2.5 Inch Ultimate Adventure System + RK rear adjustable uppers on 37's and no regear. But on BF I also picked up NITTO TRAIL GRAPPLER M/T 38X13.50R17LT so had to also grab ARTEC INDUSTRIES FRONT INNER FENDERS to make sure the 38's would fit.
