    Sticks the wheels too far out, especially with 9" wide rims. Will cause rubbing issues and probably look odd. They'll stick out almost 1.25" further than mine.

    Put another way.... they're equivalent to running 3" wheel spacers with stock wheels

    OH - that's NOT so bad! I was afraid there wasn't ENOUGH offset, and they'd rub on the INSIDE!

    You think they'll rub the sheetmetal though?

    Yes, you'll need a solid 4" lift to run 265/70/17s on those wheels... or cut out the pinch weld sheet metal... or run stock diameter tires.

    Well... back to the poop.

    My 4x4 mechanic has some plasti-dipped JK wheels with the same bolt pattern. He THINKS I can get by with just a 1/4" spacer on these, and that sounds intriguing. When I finally drop it off with him, we'll mount one up and try it after the lift. If that works, we'll go with it. If not, it's Spidertrax for now!
