Wheel Offset Help Please.
I'm still struggling with offset. (Ok, another newbie with offset issues.) I just picked up a 2012 Wrangler Sport with the stock 5 spoke Rubicon rims, tire size is LT255 75R 17. I want to put on new black XD Crank rims 17" with an offset of 0. I want to use the stock tires for now. How much further out will this offset put my tires? Will they stick out past the fender flares?

Your factory wheels are 7.5" wide with +51 offset, making back spacing 6.25".
The XD's are 9" wide with 0 offset, making the back spacing 5".
So if I'm correct, +1.25 less back spacing added to +1.5" wider wheel = 2.75" more wheel sticking out.
Here's the wheel/tire calculator I use: ht tp://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp
