Widest 17” bronze wheel to fit 33’s under the fenders on a 2022 JL Sport 2 door.

Hi. I’m looking for the widest bronze wheel (rim) to fit 33”-34” tires under the fenders of a 2022 2 door JL Sport unlifted. I think these would look great with half doors and a bikini top on a Snazzberry JL.. It will have only two seats and a toneou cover.

You mean widest offset or widest rim?

we have 17x9 with a -12 offset

Widest rim . Edited.
Not my aesthetic to have tires stick out past the fender or flair.
I wish someone actually fabricated 1” wider factory look wider fenders .

Not an expert in this area by any means but I believe the issue you’re going to run into going too wide without the wider offset is rubbing without a lift. You can fit 33’s on your current rims without a lift, but by keeping the narrow offset, the wider rim will be a lot closer to your suspension now.

Im not sure what the sweet spot is for this, maybe 0 offset

factory rims are 7.5”. I’d be happy with 8 or 9” but what backspacing would keep the tire outer tread inside the fender ?

If i remember correctly the rubicon fenders are higher and wider than the sport ones to house the wider axle, they’re factory look.

To keep it where you want it. a 8.0" wide Rim, with a 5.2 Back Spacing. That should work just fine for you..
