Just ordered some Trophys that get here this weekend. My rim guy recommended a custom offset of -12 on the 17 x 8.5. Any benefits of having such an aggresive offset and will it be any better than the standard -6 that they mass produce? I have a 11 rubicon unlimited on stock tires at the moment. Planning on a 2.5" lift and 35's. THANKS

 

That's interesting. I didn't know you could do a custom offset. Are they charging you more for that?
If my math is correct, that would give you a 4.25" backspace vs the 4.5" of the -6 offset version. (they also have a +6, 5.0" BS version). I'm no expert, but I wouldn't have thought you would have had any issues with the 4.5" with a 2.5" lift and 35's. There are at least a couple guys on here running similar setups. I would be curious to see a 4.25" version, but wouldn't pay more for them.

 

No functional benefits/advantages. Definitely too little of an offset number for my taste.

 

Fuel does the custom offset free of charge, it's just how they do business (from what I understand from friends who have purchased custom offset wheels from Fuel)

Thanks everyone...instead of being 218 ea they are going to charge me 238 ea. Mmm, Maybe I should have stuck with the 4.5 -6. They come in on Thursday so will snap some pics for whoever is interested.

 

Wheels are in and the jeep is in the back getting my new wheels installed as we speak.. checked the box they came in and they said they are a -6.3mm offset. Dont know where they came up with -12?

 

That's what I'm running.

 

Yes, that is the standard 4.5" backspace. Probably a good thing. Make sure they don't try to charge you a premium for custom.
Congrats on the new wheels!

 

They are finally installed. Wasnt very sure about the look because my wheels look so small now and it was so different. But the look quickly grew on me. Time for me to save up for my AEV lift now.

 

Another one.
