Okey dokey!
So today I ordered what a couple other people have as a set up for tires and wheels. Hillant, in the black JK gallery has these wheels and tires and they look great!:toung: Gear Alloy 713MBrims (18inch with a 10 offset) with the Kumho mud tires (35/12.5/18). So...how far will they stick out past the fender lips?
I know...but by my calculation, if I did it right, about an inch.

I have a setup similar to his and mine only stick out about that distance.

Are the wheels a +10 or a -10 offset? My guess is that they are a +10, if so, you will be running close to 5.5" of backspacing, you might have clearance issues. If they end up being a -10 offset, you will me at the magic nuber of 4.5" off backspacing and should be great. FYI, I'm running an 18x8.5 that has a +12 offset, 5.25" of backspacing and I haven't had any rubbing issues.

That would be incorrect......a 9" wide wheel with 4.5" backspacing, would have a -12 offset. People, look at the link that I provided, I didn't do it for my health

Based on that the original assumtion that the 17X7.5 has a 2.5" offset and a 6.25" BS would be wrong.
Also, the stock tire is 10.5" wide not 10" wide.
So how is rim width measured BLKRUBI, from the inside of the bead or the outside????
