Default Advice needed on KMC Addicts

Hi

I live in England and have a 2 door Sahara on order to be delivered in about 5 weeks.

I had my tyres delivered today, Mickey Thompson Baja Radial MTZ LT285/70R17

All going great I thought then I get a phone call from the UK importer of KMC, that my Matt Black Aaddicts are out of stock in the UK and the US.
Also he wasn't sure what offset I needed, so I could do with some help here. I ordered the KMC Addict XD798 in 17 with a +18 offset. They also do a -12 offset but I'm not sure what I need. I have a 2.5" Terraflex BB going on with Rugged Ridge XHD bumpers. However the laws here state that the tyres can't go past the fenders, so if anyone has a similar set up can you advise me on what offset to get.

Also, if you know of any wheel dealers that keep stock could you post the details, 'cos if they just order from KMC they'll have the same problem.

Also, just in case I can't get the addicts do you know of a set of wheels that look very similar?

Thanks

Paul

You are going to want to go with the -12 offset and they will be almost perfectly lined up with the edge of your fender flares as well as provide you with more clearance when off roading.

As far as other styles of black wheels, try this thread... Show your BLACK WHEELS!!
