I'm getting either 35 inch toyo m/ts again or nitto trail grapplers. I can't decide on rims though. I really like the xd cranks. Can you guys please help me decide on a set of rims??!

I'm getting my XD cranks installed this week. I spent over a year battling with myself with which wheel to buy, I just went with what was affordable.

AEV wheels are designed and specifically made only for JK's, not as a one-size-fits-all aftermarket wheel. They have a JK specific offset, which provides the optimal balance of tire clearance (up to 37" tires), scrub radius and handling.

What is a good offset to get. Right now I'm running stock 16s with spacers. I want my tires to stick out a little bit more past my fenders?

Not to be a bearer of bad news but the AEV are not made "only" for JK's. Today I saw a Grand Cherokee with the grey splinter wheels. If you want to make sure you have the right spacing read this link from beginning to end.

If you like the KMC Cranks, go with them! Most people use a 9 inch wide wheel with 4.5 inches of backspacing.
