On Q-Tecs website shows them as 4.7 and MY boxes that I saved from 2 years ago do show a +10MM offset and are same part number.

Right from the AEV website.. click on the tech info tab..

JK Pintler Non-Beadlock Wheels - Wheels - Shop By Category

And you are also correct.. I checked QTech and they list them as 4.75 backspace. I would be some mad if I ordered 4.75 BS and they rub cause they are actually 5.2".

I just purchased some pintlers and am waiting for them to arrive. Are you guys saying that i'm gonna have to run spacers with 35" mtr/k? I checked the aev site, and yes, it says 5.2 not 4.75. I don't understand why they would have the wrong offset or why they would change it from 4.75 to 5.2 if it wasn't the correct offset. Don't they make this wheel for jeeps only? I really hope i don't have any issues once they're here. Also my lift is a 3.5" RS lift, if that makes any difference.

Thanks

It's the metal cloak game changer 3.5". I also have daystar 3/4" spacers in there. Thanks

Got it... I got a Sahara a week ago and looking to lift/wheels/tires/bumpers in the next week or two. Thanks for sharing.

Mine as well are +10mm offset (checked the one box I still have kicking around). 10mm is 0.394". Wheels are 8.5" wide, positive offset..... About 4.64" backspace.

And read my original post in the thread. They WILL rub with 35's at full lock and lots of axle articulation. Some people are ok with limiting steering, I'm not since I'm running hydro.

I thought they were a good looking wheel which was a lot of the reason behind why I bought them. But yes, I regret buying them, it's only a matter of time before I snap the outer bead (they get more and more mangled every time we go out) and it's annoying to have to run spacers, tho I don't mind the stance.
