Thats actually why i went with the AEV savegres, bent more factory rims than i can make into garden hose reels, and the steel wheels we get down here are very heavy compared. I havent even managed to get the Savegres any damage yet. I am running the JK offset too, the +10mm ones.Originally Posted by pjmjr508

Well the ProComp wheels didn't fit. They hit the calipers, so because of time constraints (I leave for the Rubicon Trail on Wednesday), I ended up getting some MB allow rims which Discount Tire had in stock: 17x8.5" with a -6mm offset. They're not bad-looking. We double checked for clearance at full droop and no problems. I really didn't want alloy rims again but, what the heck, they were cheaper than the steel.

I must have missed this. I could have told you a 17x8 steel wheel with 4.5 inch BS wouldn't clear the caliper. I know this because I'm running them with my 33's and 1/4 spacers up front.

I had a set of 1/4" spacers but the studs really aren't long enough for spacers. Do yours just barely get enough threads to feel secure?

I ran a 1/4" spacer up front for awhile with no issues and that included a couple of wheeling trips. It held but I never did like it and got them off when I had the chance.
It's got enough threads. I have been wheeling it without any issues. I found another set of steel wheels 17x9 with 4.25 BS that won't need spacers. Once these new tires are bald I'll get them along with some 305/70s

The MB TKO's seem to be working fine. We'll see how well they hold up on the Rubicon Trail.
