16x8 does anyone have these rims or another 16x8 size on their jk? I was told they have a problem with hitting the caliper?

These are nice wheels. I had Black Rocks on one of my TJs and LOVED them!!!

I'm thinking of getting a set for my JK too.

I have the 909S in 17X8 and they work fine. I can't vouch for the 16" but the 17" has lots of room. Was rather suprised that they were drilled for both 5X5 and 5X5.5 but they look beefy enough. Wish the center cap felt more solid, but it is holding up well.

Yeah he had said the 17s would clear fine it was the 16s he was worried about.

I'm not sure if he had meant just that rim because of the backspacing ?
