I am looking for any insight for aftermarket wheels.
I would like to run the stock Rubicon BFG tires 255/75/17 on my XJ. I have a 1998 Limited Upcountry edition.
I purchased a set of 17x9 that are 5x4.5 lug wheels for a decent price used. They appear to have a 5.25 offset if I am measuring right. I have sourced a set of the BFG's for a pretty decent price.
I am planning to mount the tire/wheel combo after I install my bastardized 4" lift, including aftermarket lower control arms.
Before I go to the effort of purchasing the tires and mounting them, has anyone had experience or mounted this size of wheel/tire combo? Any advice on what I should be worried about?
I wanted to purchase these aftermarket wheels so that I did not have to buy spacers, but after getting them and seeing the width, I am wondering if I will have issues with the wheels/tires rubbing the control arms like people had with the tj rubicon wheels because of the offset.
I appreciate any help or tips.
