The pictured rotors are vented, not slotted

TF: Will you have rears available?
They will be slotted. Rears will happen.

Would these have any effect on wheel size? (Larger rotor equals the need to move up to a larger rim?)

Will a stock 17" wheel work or will you need a different back space?

My co-worker is running a set on his JK with stock Rubicon 17" wheels. Now he has wheelspacers also because of the 37" tires.

The rotors are being made specifically for this kit. They are not redrilled off the shelf rotors.
