Default Correct wheel - backspacing/offset

I installed a 2.5" lift kit on my '12 JKU and want to make sure I ordered the right XD Addict wheel for the 35" BFG KM2's. I told the rep that I wanted 17x9 w/ 4.53 backspacing/ -12 offset. Just looked at the invoice and shows 17X9 5-127 18MTB XD ADDICT MTB 78.3 WPR.

here are the 2 different dimensions on this wheel. by the invoice it has 18MTB.

Size: 17x9
Finish: Black
Boltpattern: 5x5
Offset: -12
Back Spacing 4.53
Hub Bore: 78.30
Partnumber: XD79879050712N

--------------

Size: 17x9
Finish: Black
Boltpattern: 5x5
Offset: 18
Back Spacing 5.71
Hub Bore: 78.30
Partnumber: XD79879050718

--------------

Just want to make sure I get the right wheels/tires installed shipped.
Thanks I really appreciate it.

You definitely want the -12 offset version. Call them up and get it handled.

I've never heard of 18MTB, that being said the first one listed is what is recommended for modded jeeps. Especially if you're running larger tires or plan to in the future. I would call the vender with the serial number and make sure it's the right ones. Only takes one click for the wrong parts to get shipped and we all make mistakes.

Its too late to call but I did reply to the invoice. ATTN:

I realize the first one is the right wheel which I made sure he was aware of over the phone . But the invoice shows 18MTB.

Thanks everyone, I will call the rep in the morning as well.

BTW, how are these wheels?
