I currently have a 2013 JKU, going to be lifting (RK 2.5" Max Travel) and putting 35's (Trail Grapplers 35X12.50X18) on real soon. I found some wheels I like Moto Metal 961, but I only find them in:

18X9 (18 Offset) or a 18X10 (-24 Offset) I really wanted to stick with a 9" wheel (I think the 10" wheels look a little too wide for my taste). So what are my options for 18X9?


Thanks

 

The 9" are the way to go with atleast 4.5" back spacing.

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

Yep, most people use a 9 inch wide wheel with 4.5 inches of backspacing.

 

Any 18 X 9 with this backspacing will work great.

 

Thanks, Definitely going 9".

 

just got off the phone with wheelpros, they said anything beyond -19 offset needs a leveling kit, wtf

I'm about to buy:

18x10 Metal Moto 961's -24 offset (deep lip)
295/65-18 GY Duratracks

going on my stock 2010 Rubicon


AM I GOOD? or naw?

 

I'd say to avoid contact with the fenders during wheel travel.

 

If you don't go offroad much, should be fine. The downside is that you won't have much tire to protect the wheel when you are on the trails (or near a curb at the mall if you don't wheel it).

Not that you asked, but going with a 17" wheel would be better all around. More choices, tires are cheaper, wheels are cheaper, they will ride better, and should you blow a tire, it is easy to find a 17" replacement. And personal opinion, Jeeps shouldn't look like g-money wagons. Even if it is a mall crawler, no need to advertise it. Lastly, if you decide to go a different route down the road, resale is much better for a 17" setup.

 

I'm really wanting the deep lip look, I've searched for a 17" that has the look, but I've been finding it impossible. The 18x10 will give me a fatter tire AND the deep lip I'm after. I will have to suck it up in tire pricing. I do like what I've heard about the dura tracks. Also like how they look.

I don't see how I'll have a g-wagon look? I'm thinking I'll be bigger,fatter, and sticking out more all adding up to a badass look IMHO.
