Wheel Offset
I currently have a 2013 JKU, going to be lifting (RK 2.5" Max Travel) and putting 35's (Trail Grapplers 35X12.50X18) on real soon. I found some wheels I like Moto Metal 961, but I only find them in:
18X9 (18 Offset) or a 18X10 (-24 Offset) I really wanted to stick with a 9" wheel (I think the 10" wheels look a little too wide for my taste). So what are my options for 18X9?
Thanks

just got off the phone with wheelpros, they said anything beyond -19 offset needs a leveling kit, wtf
I'm about to buy:
18x10 Metal Moto 961's -24 offset (deep lip)
295/65-18 GY Duratracks
going on my stock 2010 Rubicon
AM I GOOD? or naw?

If you don't go offroad much, should be fine. The downside is that you won't have much tire to protect the wheel when you are on the trails (or near a curb at the mall if you don't wheel it).
Not that you asked, but going with a 17" wheel would be better all around. More choices, tires are cheaper, wheels are cheaper, they will ride better, and should you blow a tire, it is easy to find a 17" replacement. And personal opinion, Jeeps shouldn't look like g-money wagons. Even if it is a mall crawler, no need to advertise it. Lastly, if you decide to go a different route down the road, resale is much better for a 17" setup.

I'm really wanting the deep lip look, I've searched for a 17" that has the look, but I've been finding it impossible. The 18x10 will give me a fatter tire AND the deep lip I'm after. I will have to suck it up in tire pricing. I do like what I've heard about the dura tracks. Also like how they look.
I don't see how I'll have a g-wagon look? I'm thinking I'll be bigger,fatter, and sticking out more all adding up to a badass look IMHO.
