Jake (steelefx4) on the forum was running those with 37" Toyo Open Country's before his rig was stolen. You can shoot him a pm I think he's still on from time to time trying to sell off stuff that was in his garage when the jeep was stolen.

Yeah it sucks living so close to the boarder here in SD...most likely it's either across the boarder or being stripped and sold piece by piece. Forgot my other buddy Mike (RUBI-JK) is running those wheels as well and I'm willing to bet they are the 9.5 so hit him up by pm. I know he's back east right now so it might take him a while to reply.

Haha indeed!!

So not many running these wheels??

Ok so 8.5 or 9.5?? will 9.5 stick out too much?

Im about to order the wheels and would like to make a final decision

The width has very little to do with protrusion, I'm runnin 18x9 at 4.75 backspace right now and they stick very little. I added my 1.5 spacers effectively making my backspace 3.25 and they stick out way more.
