Rims/wheels spec

[Matt.Percy5]

Had a question on some on rims/wheels setup. I picked out some rims that are 17x9 with a +1mm offset 5in backspace. I will be running 37s and a 2.5in lift to go with it. will i possibly run into rubbing and will i need to get spacers to fix it ?

I think it may also depend on the lift. I got a Rock Krawler 2.5 inch lift with 35's placed on stock rims and I will need Spacers.

I wouldn’t worry about it. I’m running factory wheels on 37s with a 2” lift. No spacers. Even if you do rub a little, you can adjust your steering stops slightly to get rid of any.

Try using this link for potential comparison of data:

I frequently use that to see where I need to be to be "proper" when fever dreaming wheel and tire combos.

Well the manufacturer of your lift should be able to tell you what you will need to suit your purposes also what will work with stock rims or rims of different backspacing and sizes of tires..

your going to need a bigger offset of spacers if you are running stock Sport axles. sport axles are 3/4" longer each side or a total length of 1.5" longer than the JL sport axles. your going to need to make that up plus some to clear 37's

Okay, i have the pr 44 in the front, just checked it out and have the stock length for the sport. so technically ill need close to a 2in spacer. What offset are you running for you rubicon ?
