I'm not good with tire metrics. I drive a 2019 Rubicon with stock rims and BFG KO2s. I want to replace them with Procomp 40 series Vertigo 17x9 rims with 4.75 inch backspacing and an offset of -6. Falken Wildpeak A/T 3W LT315/70R17 tires. Would these poke out further than the stock setup and by how much. Thanks for any help. I'm learning as I go.

About an inch and a half from the change in offset, and another half inch from running the wider tires. So you'll "poke" out roughly two inches total further than stock.

Corrected:

Teach me to reply too fast.

I stand corrected. Factory offset is, of course, positive rather than negative.

Just when I thought I had the whole backspacing/offset figured out, you had me second guessing myself! ?

Thanks for the help. Sounds like they will fit and look the way I was hoping for.
