Posted this in JKO too, but no one seemed to know the answer.

I am looking at the Mopar Classic 5 Hole Wheel. Thinking about running with the stock rubi tires.

4.7" of backspacing, 17x8.5

Any pics would be great. Does anyone know if they'd stick outside the fender and/or rub?

People keep saying these are AEV Savegre...but the AEV Savegre has 5.2" of backspacing...Are they really the same wheel?

 

Yes they are the same wheel

So, how does the same wheel have different backspacing?...

More importantly though, I'm curious about rubbing/sticking out past fenders.

 

Well they look the same, but as you stated the back spacing is different. If you look at the description between the two, Mopar states their wheel can handle "up to a 35" tire and AEV's states theirs can handle "up to a 37" tire. Soooo there's your answer...no

 

Haha thanks. All the answers I've been getting are "yes, those are the same wheel." Clearly they are not.
I have zero desire to ever go to a 37 and possibly never even a 35 considering this is a DD.

Like I said though, I am more concerned with it sticking out past the fenders for MA inspections/cops. The rubi tire is 10.6 inches according to tirerack: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....odClar=Rubicon

The wheel is 17x8.5 with 4.7 inches backspacing. I can't imagine this will stick out too far, if at all, or that there will be rubbing. But was just hoping someone with the Mopar version (i.e. 4.7" of backspacing) could confirm this. Lots of people seem to run 17x9 with 4.5 inches of backspacing and a much wider tire...

 

Don't have a picture but I believe they are going to be flush or stick out just a little with the fender flare. Welcome to the forum.

 

They will definitely be beyond the wheel well.

 

Thanks for the response. I can't wait to get them!
