I'm looking at wheels for my 2007 JKU. I'll be running 315/70/17 Kumho Venture MT tires and a 4.5 inch BDS short arm lift. The wheels I'm looking at are pro comp 7005. They come in 17X8 0 offset 4.5 backspace or 17x9 -6 offset 4.75 offset. I'm wanting opinions on which size would be better and why?

 

You want 17x9. I have these 7005 rims in 17x9 with three sets of tires of the same size you've picked ; mine were two sets of MTZ and 1 set of Duratecs. You'll enjoy the combo.

 

Thanks, no rubbing issues? I was just afraid the 17X9 might cause rubbing since it's only 4.75 backspace.

 

no, no rubbing at all with my 2.5" lift.

I've had mine for 8 years, so forgot what backspace was needed / recommended. A search for "backspace" on the threads here shows 4.5" or 4.75" is ideal.

 

Alright, awesome. Thanks for helping me decide.
