LOOKING TO REPLACE FACTORY RIMS

[jimmy357]

Tire width alone won’t get you there, you need the change in backspacing.

I just went from 255/70/18 to 285/70/17. It might have gotten closer to the fender lip with the increased width, but wouldn’t have had any poke on a factory type rim. Think Rubicon vs. Sahara from factory, still no poke from factory on the Rubicon and they are 285.

So you need spacers if going with an OEM wheel or a new wheel with greatly reduced backspacing/offset.


I don’t have a great before picture, but this hopefully helps. 1st is factory 255/70/18 on OEM 18x7.5 +44mm offset wheels. 2nd is 285/70/17 on 17x9 -6mm offset. If you wanted .5” less poke vs what I have, on a 17x9 you would get something with a +6mm offset instead.


Wheel width plays into offset, so keep that in mind and maybe focus on backspacing if you are looking at different wheel widths.

That’s the poke I am looking for! Thank you very much.

Can someone please help me identify this wheel?

For normal cars there are rules of thumb like don't increase tire diameter by more than 3%, but a regular car can't change gearing, speedometer, etc., so it's quite different. For a Jeep of course you can put 40 inch tires on if you upgrade the components.

What components are you referring to? Asking for a friend

Fuel Vapor. All 5 lug versions are dual drilled/universal. I’d avoid them myself.
