Default Has anyone seen these on a jeep?

I have a set of Rays Engineering Volk TE-37s on my Silvia that I am going to throw on a black 2 Dr JK on a set of 33s. I think the black on bronze will look good. What are your thoughts? BTW these wheels are 17X9 +15 Offset but I will be throwing on spacers to convert the bolt pattern. The reason is cause I love these wheels and these are 2,000.00+ wheel that I always wanted for my car.

Great rim, looks great.....but I would be sick to my stomach wheeling with them and scratching the crap out of them.

Do you plan on wheeling it ever? If not...go for it....if so... Iwould second guess it

yeah I plan to do some wheeling with them. Ok I know I am going to need a Spacer to change the lug pattern. The offset on these +15 and it is a 9 inch rim. I need to work the numbers to find out about the back space and figure out what size to order the spacers. Heres a pic of a Toyota running these wheels and I think they look sexy as hell plus the ones I got have more of a concave face on them.

Thats what I was going for. You dont understand how much these wheels are my dream wheels and when I got them it was a real happy day for me. These things are beautiful and light weight but they are 5.45 PCD. Right now I am searching around everywhere to find out the backspacing for these wheels. If I did my math right the back space on these wheels should be 4.39. which should make me need a spacer (lug converter to 5X5) thats 0.36mm which is .014173 inches to get me to 4.75. I like the look of the 7089's 17X9 with 4.75 backspacing (I think thats the size)

I read this on the Newbie section

I would recommend that you do not exceed 4.75" of back spacing and even at that, you may still have some minor rubbing up front at a full turn. Also, I would recommend that you do not go any less than 3.75" as anything less would cause your tires to stick out very far past the fender flares. Any back spacing within this range should work out great.

What is the smallest spacer I could run to change the lug pattern and not get my wheels pushed way the heck out? I have looked but the common one seems to be 1.375in and this would make the wheels backspacing 3.015 which is not recommended from the post above. If I am wrong can someone please chime in

I think they will look good especially when you get a big set of tires. Go for it and post some pics!

Yeah if I can figure out this backspacing thing and spacers I will be mounting them on LT285/70/R17s BFG KM2's.
