Default What 17" wheels with 37" tires?

I've got a black 09 Unlimited. I originally planned to put black wheels on, but I'm not a big fan of them. I've decided to go with allow and briefly looked at the AEV wheels, but they're a little more than I wanted to spend.

What are some other options? I know were somewhat limited.

pro comp has a good selection of wheels at good prices. However most of them are on backorder due to aluminum shortage in china. March madness is coming up for 4wd.com and 4 wheel parts so you should be able to get a good deal on some wheels and tires.

well to start you need the 5x5 bolt pattern. Their beadlocks I believe are not allowed onroad. But not certain on that. I like their Pintlers because they are a wide stance wheel which makes your tire stick out a little more. They cost a little more though.

I'll probably end up with the Pintlers and 37" Nitto Mud Grapper tires.

What offset would I need?

Tires are 37x13.50R18

Not sure on the offset but I believe they only make one size for our vehicles in the 17"

17x8.5 Size
5x5 Bolt Pattern
4.7" Backspacing

Here is a link of quadratec, you just have to decide on the color
