What I like about these wheels is not only is the back spacing better but they are a full inch and a half wider too. I love my factory wheels but I will prob buy a set of these for just that reason.

I can't say for sure, but I don't believe these will stick out past fender with stock tires. Also they should fit the stock tires, but again I am not 100% sure.

I would go with something like the aev pintler as the other poster said. It's resembles stock, but still very different.

With that said, they aren't ugly or anything. Just reinventing the wheel, so to speak.
Many 2013 Sahara and Rubicon owners have stated their displeasure with the factory wheels, so this gives them a 2007-12 factory look option for less than some on craigslist.

Hello Shell,

The factory wheels are painted silver with exception of the Arctic Editions, Mountain Editions, Freedom Editions, Call of Duty & MW3 Rubicons.

Hello Jeepinxj,

They are hub centric.

Hello Shell,

Hello nicksabellajk,

You can use your stock tires on our wheels. With the backspacing difference the wheel and tire should come close to flush with the flares.

This is why I buy from Quadratec! They do know what customer service is. BTW. The last purchase I made with them last week exceeded my expectations again.

Sorry to thread jack. Now, Quadratec, how about a forum member discount code for us?

To point out one other advantage to these, clip weight rings. I know people here hate clip ons, but I prefer them and since I do my own work I can make sure they're on there.

I'm not a huge fan of aev wheels appearance or price and I want something fairly understated unlike rockstars.

Just my .02
