Default Help with wheels!

this is my first time buying wheels for a vehicle and im not sure what size rim to buy. my 2010 jeep wrangler sport came with 35/12.5/OR17 kuhmo road venture tires. obviously the rim needs to be 17" with a 5x5" bolt pattern, but what about the offset? im looking at these wheels in particular.

FUEL - HOSTAGE - BLACK Wheel

Would these wheels fit? thanks for any help.

Those are some nice wheels! With a tire that wide, you'll probably need spacers. The back spacing on that wheel is good, but you might rub. I have 11.5 wide, no spacers, and I only run at full turn.

So in short, with wheel spacers, that rim should work.

That's good! And no problem, let's see some pics once you get those rims on!

You need 4.5 or less back spacing.
