09 JKU Wheel question
Hello everyone im new to the JK world as i just got a 2009 JKU Rubi 6spd. I have a few questions about wheels and such. I did try and find some info on the site but had no luck with what im looking for or maybe i just didnt understand.
Im getting either a 2.5in RK Liftkit or a 3.5 RK liftkit still up in the air. also will these wheels with with both kits or only one
I just bought these wheels [URL="http://www.mhtwheels.com/mht-luxury-alloy-wheel.cfm?id=440"]
MHT Octane D509 17x8.5 with a +6, i have been told these will fit with the lift, i have also been told to get a 17x9 with 4.5 B/S
The 17x8.5 +6 are on order atm so im asking if this will work or not, rubbing at full turn and such
The tires i have for the wheels are the Duratrac 315/70-17 aka 35-12.50-17
I can not remember what the stock specs are for the factory 2009 Rubi wheels, i have read many different sites and they are all different, could someone just clear this up for me..
Thanks also guys and hope to hear form you soon.

Ok so i called MHT on the Octane's 17x8.5 and a total of 5in B/S, i also called the shop thats putting my lift on and was told the 5in B/S will be ok just a little tucked in and would not rub.
what do you guys think.
also if anyone with a 3.5in lift with 17x8.5 and 5in back spacing can post the a picture from the front view looking to the back so i can see how the " Tucked " will look
Thanks in advance
Brian
