Wheel poke on a JL Sport 17x8.5 ET0 4.75in backspacing pic request

[CptFloridaMan]

Evening guys, I've been looking around for most of the day for what wheels look like on a non rubicon JL with wheels sized at 17x8.5 ET0 4.75in backspacing since the axles are slightly narrower.

Ultimate goal is about 2inches of poke maximum from the fender with a 35x12.50 tire.

Thanks

I just worked the numbers and a 17x8.5 ET0 (4.75" BS) wheel is going to sit 2.25-inches further outwards when compared to where the factory wheels sit stock. With that states, if you measure from the front lip of the O.E. wheel outwards 2.25-inches, this is where the front lip of the 17x8.5 ET0 is going to sit.

According to our measurements, the 17x8.5 ET0 should poke outside of the fender by about 1.75-inches
