Newbie with Tire & Wheel Questions :)

[chela_bella]

I have a 2018 Unlimited Sport S with the stock lift and upgraded tires to 285/70/17's and looking to buy wheels with a -12 offset with a 4.49 backspacing. I have been looking at all of the wheel/tire calculator but am still confused and wanted to know if I would be running into any rubbing issues or any other issues I should know about? Also, any other info that I need to know about the negative offset or this wheel upgrade would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

You won’t have any rubbing issues on the insides of the tires. You may rub the euro inserts so I’d suggest removing them. A -12 will have your tire sticking about 1/4 inch less than mine in the pics. I run a -18 on a 12.5 wide tire. You may get some rub on the fenders with some moderate articulation.

I'm just wondering, what wheel size has -12mm offset and 4.49 backspacing.

I figured it was a typo. I usually just go off the offset.

Yeah sorry, read the wheel listing wrong

I got a newbie question as well. Will the wheels and tires off a 2021 Jeep Gladiator fit a 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport? I've read conflicting answer elsewhere on the internet.

They will fit, only difference is the Gladiator uses larger lug nuts (a 14mm stud), the JK uses a 1/2" stud, everything else is the same.
