Question 16x10 wheel Q

Few Quick questions (I know, I know... search the forum but I'm in a hurry hehe).

Does the JK need hub centric wheels? I don't want to deal with an offset, etc?

For a 16x10 wheels, running 33s (305? 315? x 12.5 ?):
- would a budget boost work?
- Brake line issues?
- rubbing / disconnect issues?
- Backspacing Min / Max?

Thx in advance!

Too bad the FAQ's don't cover any of that. I think someone should add it...




Q: What is the biggest size tire that I can I fit with a 2.5" Budget Boost?
Q: What back spacing will I need on my wheels in order to clear 12.50 wide tires?
Q: What are all the components that I will need with a 3" lift? (follow this one instead of the 2 or 2.5" recommendations since you are looking at disconnecting and worried about rubbing.)

Ext brake lines and/or brackets depends on your use, but plan on getting one of them. If you do not have chopped/flat fenders, plan on ext bumpstops. If you go up to a 315 (which is a 35" tire) plan on trimming - skid, rubi rails if you have them on your sahara, front bumper ends, pinch seam, etc...

I'm only looking to start with 33s, will take time to get all the upgrades necessary for 35s

im now wondering if its the right time for beadlock..ie dailydriver. Anyone running AEV or other beadlocks daily?

reading their disclaimer it sounds like its not recommended...
