Default Aftermarket Wheels Stock Rubi Tires

Anyone got this setup? Really not wanting to keep my Rubicon tires till they wear out. But wouldn't mind changing the wheels to make it different from other factory Jeeps. Believe 8.5" is the max width that recommend for them?

I am running AEV Pintlers with stock tires for now. Tried to see wheels/tire as a combo but now luck. Decided to just use stock on new wheels and sell wheels only. Now everyone interested on the wheels wants the tires.

Pintlers are 8.5" wide. You have any front and side pictures of your Jeep?

Fuel 17x9 4.5bs with my stock Rubi tires. Just can't air down as much as I would like, but very happy with em. Here's a couple pics. They don't stick out past the fenders too bad.

I actually looked for these tires.. I got lucky and found some take offs from a 2012 with less tha 2000 miles.. I like the look, I'll go bigger next year.

That's what I did too. I bought mamba wheels and put the stock rubicon tires on them.
