I know this has been discussed over and over again but i need a quick answer. What is the best offset for WK wheels, keeping stock size tires, W/O the wheels and tires sticking out. Basically what do i want for an aftermarket wheels but keeping stock specs.

The wheel i am looking at offers -15, +25, +10

Their site labels them as the direct replacement for the wk/xk with the +25. i will call them and ask if they will stick out at all with stock tires. I hope it is not much if they do.

thye will stick out at +25....not sure how much. Really depends on the type/design of the wheel. Any 5x127 or 5x5 wheel will fit the wk as long as it clears the calipers.....but what most companies dont do is test their wheels on each vehicle to see whether it sticks out or sunken in too much. The SDRt wheels for example are +35 and +50. So it also varies a little on different widths.

Well, the +25 is the best i can get, i have looked at pics and they all seem to be within the fenders and most of them have larger tires and a lift. So i dont think it will be too much of an issue. I just dont want a ghetto stance. I have some more research to do but i think i will try the +25s.

Ok fine. I was not going to post them until i have them in a few months because i asked before and i know alot of people dont like them on the wk because they are not blingy enough, But I dont care If you dont like them, Ive wanted a set for years.

AEV Pintler Wheels. 17"x8.5" +25 offset, 5.3" BS. silver finish (could get argent gray but i dont think it will look right)

245/65/17 Nitto Terra Grappler All Terrain tires. http://www.nittotire.com/#index.tire.terragrappler

I am not going to lift my jeep or lower it. But i live in NH, we get some Intense winters and there are alot of Country roads that i drive that i want to have a good All terrain tire. But i dont want BFG ATs. I am basically going for the stock 4x4 ability use but still the on road manners, so bilsteins and srt sways are on next years list.

I spent a bit of time editing a pic of my jeep with the wheels and i am 100% convinced that they are what i want.

Lol, I agree, if they had different sizes that would be nice. The other reason i dont want to go bigger then 17s is tire cost. I can get a hell of a deal on 245/65/17s from a local shop on the nitto tires. Once i go up to 18 it sky rockets.

If I could have pintlers on my Jeep I'd be soooooo happy.

Do it bro!

$199 a wheel, right?

Do you think that the spare will fit under the Jeep? You do want 245's so I don't see why not.

Yea it will fit fine, But 2 things.

1 i will have an srt style exhaust in 2 weeks so no room.

2 No chance in hell will i ever put a $200 rim under my jeep with road salts and such. The spare will live in the garage locally and if i go on a long trip it will go in the back.
