Are those the 0 or -12 ZXs? And the -12 would be 4.5 backspacing, right?

LOL that would be the trick. What size tires do you have. They look huge like 37's or something.

B.S.

From the back edge of the wheel to the mounting plate of the wheel (the part of the wheel that sets on the hub) there is 6.2 inches of wheel depth. The +25 offset indicates that from the actual center point of the wheel's width the mounting plate is 25mm toward the face of the wheel. The larger the offset number the larger the back space number. A negative offset creates less BS because it puts the mounting plate more towards the back edge of the wheel.

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.

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?

Thank you.

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

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.

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 -19 represents the offset. The MTB, SM, BMF, and MMS are the color codes. MTB = Matte Black, SM = Silver Machined, BMF = Black with Machined Face, and MMS = Mirror Machined with Silver Hole.

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
