No, it just looks that way from the angle of the pic. With the 33" tire and the 4.5" backspacing that rim tire combo fits directly on the factory mount. I have an adapter for when I go to 35"s but I'm saving up to re-gear first.

If you want a show rig polished. If you want a trail rig matte. A rattle can of matte black in the garage goes a long way to cover up trail scars.

Do the matte black wheels ever look clean? and are they a better match for the stock grey fenders?

I went with the matte black pro comp - they look good on a black jeep.

Matte. But why touch up the wheels? Wear that trail rash as a badge of honor ...
