Wheel Fitment Help Please- wanting to buy Enkei ST6 - images & specs included
Hey Everyone,
Im looking at purchasing the Enkei ST6 18x8.5, +20mm Offset, 5.51" Backspacing. I dont plan on lifting the Jeep, or doing oversized Tires.
Does anyone know if I will run into clearance issues ( control arms or swaybar endlinks )
Below is actual images of the exact wheels, part # 470-885-7320GM
Thank you for the help.

Lower backspace numbers move the rims further out of the wheel wells. The FAQ's stuck to the top of this modified area indicate that the backspacing on stock rims is 6.25". The backspace on your new rims is 5.50". So they will be moved outward a bit, giving a slightly wider stance, and a bit more room to keep the tires away from components.

I wound up buying a set of 5 & test fitting ( w/o tire mounted ) this past weekend to ensure clearance. I couldnt tell by the Specs if the wheel would set inside toward suspension more, or poke out compared to stock.
I also measure the backspace of these, & the stock 2014 18" Sahara wheels. Backspace is virtually identical. SO the only different is the +20mm offset on the Enkei's. It pushed the wheels out towards the body just slightly, which is perfect for me!
I'll be having the wheels painted to match the Crystal Granite Body color. Ill update with pics when the project it finished.
