Anyone have any ideas on where to find 17" x 12" rims that'll fit the JK?

The only thing that wide i have seen is in a 15". I was looking around yesterday. You may check Cragar or mickey thompson. I am not sure though. Why do you want to go that wide?

Getting some 37x13.5x17" pitbulls and they require that wide a rim. I'm sure that I can get away with 10" wide though

A 9-10" should work fine. Do you daily drive the jeep? Im just asking because the pit bulls are bias ply and are louder than most super swampers on pavement. They are crazy offroad, but they are a little scary on the highway.

The pitbulls will not be the daily driver tires, I have 35" KM2's for that

I'd challenge anyone to find 17 x 10's period. I too was looking for that combo. Unfortunatley, if you do find something like this, the backspacing suffers and you'll need to go with wheel adapters. What can I say... I like the deep-dish look!
