Offset and Backspace: How do they relate?
#31
A 9" wide wheel with a 0mm offset should stick out about 1" beyond your fenders. Maybe a little more if you go with a wide tire.
The tires on my LJ stick out about 2" beyond the fenders and they throw plenty of gunk up on my jeep. My jeep seems likes it. Now if I can only teach it how to shake itself off....

6.2 BS is about what a factory MOAB has and will limit your tires choices. Shoot for a BS of 4.5 give or take a tad.
I hope this helps.

A negative offset creates less BS because it puts the mounting plate more towards the back edge of the wheel.

So this would elimate v-tec raptors for me because this is what V5tec lists as their specs.

This thread should help as well

In the JK 5-5 bolt pattern, the 18x9.5 Raptor comes with a -12mm offset which equals 4.75" of backspace. This will work for your application
The Raptor is also offered in size 17x9 with a -12mm offset which equals 4.5" of backspace.
Yes, they are the 17x9 ET-12 (4.5" BS) Level 8 ZX wheels.
I wish I was running 37's! They are actually 325/70-17 (35") Wild Peak A/T tires.
With 12.50" wide tires mounted, the total the tires will stick out past the factory fenders is about 1.75" to 2" depending on the tire model. Tires brands are just like shoe sizes. Some run smaller while others run larger even in the same size.

You said that I would extend out by about an inch. SO if I went with a 12.5 inch wide tire, does that mean (12.5-9) / 2 = 1.75 inches will be added to the 1 inch that is already out there making it 2.75 inches past the fender? WIll the Bushwackers flat style fender flairs reduce that over lap?

I am looking at your site for a set of mb 15x8's... i have seen your post saying that the razor, 72, TKO and black choas 5 all fit. I was wondering if the silver chaos 5's would also fit. Those wheels have a -19mtb, -19sm, -19bmf and -19mms... whats the difference between mtb, sm, bmf, and mms?
Also do you have any pictures with the Silver chaos 5's on the jk?

The Silver 15x8 MB Chaos 5 fits the JK with no issues Unfortunately I do not have any pictures of this size/finish installed on the JK. You could be the first
