Positive Offset Wheel Choices

[blnewt]

Don't think many wheel companies want to disclose how much their "boat anchors" weigh, lol.

I had '0' offset wheels on my 2.5" Sky Jacker lift running 35" tires and rubbed the lower control arm a little, more so when turned hard to either side. I'd be worried with a +18 to +25 offset especially if running 35's or even 12" wide 33's.

I had thought I had seen several people with +12 or +18 running 315/70/17 with no rubbing.

My Jeep is a Sahara so may be the difference. The Rubicon's have wider axles and that helps them a good deal. I forgot about that before.

I have a sport, so same width axles as the sahara.

How do you like the Patagonia's? Thinking about a set for our 2dr sport

Like them a lot, quiet for the aggressive tread, seem to be wearing nice & even, and balanced easy. Only 4x4'd a little so far but performed well there too! I'd buy them again in a heartbeat

Thank for the feedback.

I am having a very hard time picking out wheels myself. My Teraflex lift states that I need 4.5" BS however I called them and they said I can do 4.75". BUT I am supposed to have no "poke" in NH so I have to get as close to legal as possible. My options are pretty limited and not sure if it is even possible. That being said, I am not sure if I can run 35 x 12.5' Ridge Grapplers as planned. Any feedback / advise is greatly appreciated.

Might look at 285/75/17s, a nice tire size for lifted Sports IMO

Thanks. I can’t even find a wheel that won’t poke out though, never mind a tire.

There are quite a few wheels are +25, they won't poke, and combined w/ those 285/75s you should please the fender gods
Here's a link to wheels that have offsets of +18 or more

Quadratec also has several high positive offset wheels and AEV brand is known for quality high positive offset choices

Here's some Quadratech examples in a 17x8.5, you'll have to scroll through and see the ones that have offsets in the +25 range or backspacing in the 5 to 5.25" range
