Yea know about the wheels being made for jeeps but Did not know if they would fit due to back spacing and offset without a lift that stuff still confuses me.

They are made to ONLY fit Jeeps they are hub centered just as the stock wheel. They are now a factory / dealer approved and available wheel. the backspacing is very good on a JK they also fit the Grand Cherokee.

You can use a jk or wk wheel on a jk. The jk wheels has less back spacing so a wider tire fits. If our are running stock or similar sized tires the wk back spacing will keep the wheel in a little closer to the frame, but still not as lose as stock wheels. If I remember correctly, stock 6" back spacing, wk 5 1/4" back spacing, and jk 4.75"

Chances are you will rub a little at full turn. I have yet to see someone have these wheels and not rub without spacers. I know for anything in the 35+ is an issue but I do not know anyone with a smaller tire so depending on what your getting if smaller than a 35 it may work fine. Look around you will find a lot of used AEV wheels for sale because of this
You want to get something with a backspacing of 4.5 to 3.5 with a larger than stock tire so they don't rub.
