Need advice on if the wheels I'm looking to buy will work with my stock Rubicon
Hello,
I have a 2016 stock Rubicon and I'm looking to purchase new wheels. I'm currently interested in wheels that have a -12mm offset and a 4.53 backspacing. I also plan on getting tires which are 265/70R17. Could someone explain to me whether or not these set of wheels will work without needing a lift? I'm just not sure if it'll end up rubbing on the front fenders or not.

Welcome to JKF.. The wheels should be fine, actually they should move both the wheel and tire out from stock. I think the OEM size is 255/75 17.. Given the info from the Tire Size Calculator and the offset you are considering you should be fine:
