A special thanks to Marcus @River City Offroad for getting these to me quickly and at a good price.
@Kurtj29 here they are on Billet Silver!

30.7 lbs (approx)
315/70R17 KO2s
No lift. Rubicon with steel bumpers.
It fits over the bumper with a slight rub. Camera works. Camera cover works. Park sense sees the tire as an obsticle and has to be turned off until my tire riser gets here.
New thin lugs needed. Hub centric.
I like the matte black very much. It is muted but not dull. I've seen other flat and matte wheels that look as if they are covered in brake dust.
The valve stems are set way back and recessed a decent amount to afford protection.
Three people at 3 different shops catering the Jeeps/4x4s said the bead grip technology really works and is not a gimmick. If I get to test this out, I'll report back

I haven't pulled the trigger yet, but these are highest on the list. I'd like to hear how they do on the trail before I bite.

Then too I should decide on what tires I'll be going with. lol

Looks damn good though.

Yes I am watching the thread. The 701’s are at the top of my list but I put off my build till spring. I have decided to keep my JLUR stock because ... I want to see what the situation is with the JT Scrambler... I love my Jeep, but miss the pickup I traded in for the Jeep. So I might do something really stupid, like trade in my year old JLUR for a new JT. I can’t believe I just wrote that.

Ha! I get it. But, hey, it's only money and you only live once. I lost a nice chunk of change on an 11 month old GTI (that I loved) to get the JL. I just divided the loss by 11 and figured a had a high lease payment. Those GTIs hold value well but nothing like the JL. You'll do better than I.
See if you can get the 701s 'photoshopped' to the JT. If you like 'em, get them and transfer them over to the JT.

Guys that have these installed... does the spare tire touch the bump-stop on the gate?

Mine did not. I drove around a while without contact, before extending them with a raquet ball. Others have extended their tire bump stops with rubber chair feet, rubber stoppers and other assorted DIY options. Do not let this deter your wheel decision; I'd say all with wheels with a +12mm offset and under will lose contact with the bump stops (because my previous +12 wheels lost contact) I have since installed the mopar tire riser that comes with extended bump stops.

This thread helped with my decision, thank you. Running on KM3 35 X 12.5, RC 2.5" lift and Smittybilt rear carrier. The bump stops are adjusted so I have solid support using stock bump stops.

How would these fit on the stock K02s on my JLUR? I really don’t want to get 35s mainly because it’s my daily driver.

Absolutely. Per BFG’s website, they fit on wheels that are 7.5 inches to 9 inches wide. https://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/tire/bf-goodrich/all-terrain-t-a-ko2
Your welcome

I ordered these wheels from River City Offroad and will have 315/70r17 KO2s mounted. Marcus said they're on backorder and expect to be shipped mid December (darn) but I got these because 1. Hate the stupid faux beadlock look and 2. They seem to have function built in while looking fairly modest. I'll be sure to post pics when I have them on there. I will not be lifting yet.
