The wheels are a 4.5" backspacing so I have no rubbing issues with turning. In the doors/top off shot you can see the rubi rails were not cut. It rode fine like this but would rub the rails a little on big bumps. Once I put the doors and hard top on, I could hardly get down the block without rubbing the rails so I took about 2" off them. You can see the trimmed rails in the doors/top on pic. I haven't rubbed the pinch seams at all on the road, but I haven't gotten out on the trails yet so they might rub under some serious flex. I'm going to trim them as soon as I get to it. Other than that, it's been great. Mileage is down 1 mpg average. Braking hard requires some finesse. The 4.10 gearing is better with these tires than with the stockers in my opinion. That's really all I can think of. Definitely don't hesitate.

They are Level 8 Trackers. They are alloys, something like 26 lbs per 17" wheel compared to 60 lbs or something ridiculous for the same size steel wheel. I like the wheels a lot.

I just looked up those wheels and they don't make a 15x8 in a 4.5 backspacing. That sucks cause I really like those wheels and I've been searching for a long time for a good set of black wheels.

I ran my JKU for a while with no lift, but the DC FCIIs (see signature below) rubbed on the fenders when off-road. I originally wanted flat fenders, which would have solved the rubbing, but the factory fender look grew on me over time. Full disclosure, I also have the bumper and winch, which lowered my front end almost an inch when installed. With that said, here is mine before and after the lift.
