JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

AEV.
What's the back spacing on all of these wheels? Something to consider as you purchase. 4.5 BS is a good start and seems to work well with other suspension components as you upgrade.

Here's what I found for the size, offset, backspacing, and weight of each of these wheels...

Rugged Ridge: 17x9, -12 offset, 4.75 backspace, 29#
XD monster: 18x9, -12 offset, 4.53 backspace, 44#
XD crank: 17x9, 0 offset, 5 backspace, 37#
AEV: 17x8.5, 10 offset, 4.7 backspace, 31#

With Speed's picture of the rugged ridge there's no other choice. Gotta go rugged ridge.
