10mm, 4.7" offset. They used to have a high offset version, but I don't see it on their site anymore.

I have them and like them once I banded the TMPS inside the tire and put in a stubby valve stem. The TMPS sticks out way too far - I broke a couple off on the rocks.

The backspacing is 4.7" so on a 8.5" wide rim that equates to +10 mm offset.

Yes, I think the AEV wheels I am using are +10mm, and I just put on a set of 37X12.5R17 tires on them. Is this combination okay?

Depth wise you should be fine with 12.5" wide tires. That combination is popular with KM2s and MTR/Ks including many of the AEV built and owned JKs.

The tires I am running are Goodyear Wrangler MT/R with Kevlar, and they are looking just fine.

The +10mm wheels are for the JK and the -15mm for the TJ.
