Rims and offset, least amount possible

[JMP]

As a data point for you, I have 3.5" Metalcloak GC lift and 37s. I'm running Jeep XR wheels and I get no rubbing on street or the trail. Whatever the backspacing of those wheels, might be a good target for you. I also don't like my tires to stock way out, either.

My rear XR rims started rubbing when I went to 30.5” shocks and minimal bump. -12 offset fixed it by about 1/4”.

Thats a sport model right? so with those same rims on a rubicon its going to stick out even further correct?

no, its a sport diesel, which is the 220 and 210 axle

Rubi flares are wider to accommodate the wider axles, so no, they would not “stick out even further.”

Good point. I'm running Falcon shocks, which are around a 28.5" (if memory serves me) extension, instead of the Rocksport or 6pak shocks.

I didn’t have near the interference issues when mine were 28.5”, same bump stop.
