yea diagram looks basically identical. how much option do i have between poke vs no poke? i dont want too much, just slightly for a balanced look
If you already have the wheels on order then it's up to you whether you want to hold up on that order and go a different route. Since you have the narrower non-Rubicon axles (1.5" narrower) your offset shouldn't be too positive as this will pull the wheel in too much and your tires will be too close to your suspension/inner fender area.

If you were to go w/ a 17x8.5 w/ a offset around +15 & running a 285/70 tire you'd be about 10mm in from my set. That's about the smallest "poke" you can have without getting too close to the inside.

There are folks that run more positive offset and deal w/ some contact when flexing the suspension or when at full lock w/ the steering, but I wouldn't recommend that TBH.

You'll see nice sets recommended for JLs from AEV, and some wheels on Quadratec that have offsets in the +25 range, but these are best suited for the Rubicons w/ that extra inner space.

Virtually identical, just about a 1/4" further out that mine :) I think you'll like that. Here's some more pics to give you an idea what to expect (especially the top 2 going from stock to the new set).

2021 Sport S w/Rubicon take offs, no other modifications. Yet. Zero issues. Money very well spent.
