Wheel width for 37x12.5R17...

[Halstem1]

I run the Quadratec wheel, and haven't had any issues with the finish holding up. They are pretty lightweight, allow the use of factory lug nuts, and are hubcentric. The only downside is they too easily pass for a stock wheel, so no points for looking cool.

I don't know. I think yours look pretty cool. I just really like a clean OE look. Debating between the ones you have and the all black 'JK Recon" wheel. Only looking because I want something wider for the 37" tire and these are checking a lot of boxes. Might have to try it.

I have the same wheels on my jeep. Love them but man are they heavy and the plastic faux ring is pretty fragile.

This might be the route I go to keep that OEM look and not too much offset. And man, super affordable. Makes me question quality and how they hold up to harsh winter conditions. Curious of any feedback from those that have them.

Well if you want to wait a few days, I will give you my first impressions of overall quality...I just ordered a set of 5 Machined Black Hardrock wheels.
Girlfriend or Wifey for you married guys, will likely never even notice you bought your 'other' baby shiny new shoes

How are these wheels holding up for you?

Overall I like them and for the price they are a good value; fairly lightweight, balanced well and I definitely feel the additional wheel width (7.5" to 8.5") was an improvement and fit the 35" KO2's better and the backspacing (5.2") works well.
They are called 'Machined / Satin Black' but the 'Machined' areas look more flat silver than machined and the satin black is a little flat...Would look much better IMO if they had the same 'pop' as the OEM Rubi wheels...Still not bad though!

@Bud90 - Did you paint the willy's or put a sticker on the quadratec wheel?

This is most likely the route I am going to go then. I love the factory wheel, and the '41s are very close. The sticker was my plan..glad to see someone else blazed the trail for me already.

I am installing the 3.5" Maximus GeoLift as soon as it arrives, and then I am upgrading to 37" BFG A/T's . Have you noticed any rubbing at all? With the offset of +10mm, I figured the only issue I would have is mud being slung up the sides worse than it does now, and thats not a big deal.

Very minor rubbing at full flex off road on plastic inners

I believe every tire manufacturer will tell you what size they recommend for each tire they produce.

I have a 37 12 50 17 nitto ridge grappler on a 8-in method wheel. I'm pretty sure it's 8 in it's the method NV 305. I had a 37 1350 17 tire before I like the look it was a little bit wider but a little too much for me we had a hard time balancing it but it was a Cooper SST pro which people have problems with those on balancing. And I saw a Jeep one day he had 37 1250 17-in tires also but it looked a lot wider than my tire cuz he probably had a 10-in wheel or 11 it pulled the tire out I think that's the looking looking for unfortunately my wheel doesn't come in I think 9 or 10 inch. So I guess I'm thinking about buying different Wheels I definitely want to get the water look and I'm not going back to 3713.50 17 on a 8-in wheel it's within like the barely narrows you can go. Anyone I've tried to find photos I wanted to see a picture of the 37 1250 17 tire prefer my nitto ridge Grapper but any other tire photo would work with a water wheel like a 10-in wheel I want to see the difference cuz I know it was a lot wider than what I have on the same tire. I just think mine looks too narrow I wide a wheel would pull it out anybody that's running in 37 12 50 17 inch tires on a Rubicon JL what size wheel are you running?
