Exactly the same combo I'm buying, wheels and tires, only that a 37. Great to see this combo in video.

Yes sir! Yea bro they still the wheels I find most appealing outa them all. Personally I like the look of tough yet upscale; if that makes sense lol

I plan on getting some soon! Super nice, I did hear some people say they are prone to rust, have you had any issues? Also btw, you have good taste

[@TheMisanthropeLives]

I really these but I'm concerned about brake heat and shake from the rims and tire weighing too much. I'd be putting 18s on a 4door Sahara.

[@Gunny559]

TheMisanthropeLives , I haven’t had any problems running. I do plan on getting the bigger brake kit that AutoEdit and TrailRecon added to theirs. They’ll help reduce all the work these stock ones are doing for all this added weight.

[@lookinglassdca9174]

Hi I'm the same I also have Landcruiser Sahara would love to see a pic if you have one cheers .

[@Somnology666]

I have these in the 18" configuration on 35s plus the 5th wheel on a Wrangler JL Sport with no issues regarding driveability. Some vibration on the 5th wheel at highway speeds but thats fixed with a better re-enforcement. ( if you don't offroad, you'll be fine anyway) The one issue i am upset about is the fake little bolts that surround the wheel have started to show rust after just 1 winter. ( i hose it down often, too)

[@dougcoleburn1579]

[@TheBeast-hd9bl]

What’s the offset

[@MACzerofourtwo]

Can you comment on if you have any issues with the brakes heating up since they are solid and there is no openings to let the brakes get air? I assume this may cut down on brake dust or make it Mo existent on the front of the rims.

[@Gunny559]

MACzerofourtwo , that’s a good question. I’ve had no issues with my brakes other then the added weight of bigger tires has slowed them down a tad. There’s a big brake kit by Teraflex I wanna upgrade to when I get some free cash. But no issues here bro.

[@oldchicago3216]

Great video..question, do you have a lift kit on your Jeep and if so, what size lift?

[@Gunny559]

@Old Chicago , yes I have a 2.5 teraflex shock and spring lift. I went with the Fox 2.0 shocks. I shoulda paid the extra money for the set with reservoirs (for looks lol).

[@oldchicago3216]

TheGUNNY I have a new rubicon and I put 2.50 spacers on the front and 1.75 on the rear, I don't plan on off roading it's just my daily driver, will 17s" with 35's work out for me?

[@Gunny559]

Old Chicago, if your not gonna put a lift and you wanna run 35's you'll need to alter the fenders to flat ones. Or you can lift it at least 2inches. Besides the wider stance spacers help to prevent tire rubbing (you probably already know all this). There's a Jeep dealership on KZbin that shows how to run 35's without a lift. But like I said you'll need to alter the fenders.

[@thecleancaveman7770]

How have these held up? Any complaints? (I've heard they rust pretty easily--did you run into that?)

[@Gunny559]

The Clean Caveman @ so I don’t do any heavy off-roading and my JEEP stays in the garage at night. I haven’t had any issues with them. I use a leaf blower to dry them off after washing which helps to fully dry them. Mine look new

[@mrmendez6483]

what kind of lights do you have?

[@Gunny559]

Mr Mendez, below is the link for them. They don't feel cheap, the lighting is bright. They were just what I wanted to black out my JK. I recommend they only be hand tightened as I've spoken to other JK owners like myself who've slightly cracked the case by over tightening.

[@LW-dq8pv]

Is this the +6mm, or -18mm? I'm thinking about grabbing a set of +6mm to keep it close to stock backspacing. They must have come out with the +6mm which is what i'm after you posted the last comment, if when you purchased they offered one offset.

[@Gunny559]

I’ll check their box, but when I ordered them I was told only 20’s and above offered multiple offsets. I’m extremely happy with these rims. Plenty of looks n compliments

how much is weight rim with tires?

[@Gunny559]

@Vasyl G , I'm not to sure. I had the shop mount them. I use to put my stock rim with these same BFG's KO2 35's and I'd say they were about 50lbs roughly. At the shop it was 2 guys putting the spare on but it could be so they didn't damage anything.

[@leeyoungsb75]

Plan to get 17” and run 33” tires with no lift kit. Running stock lift. I heard 33” tires is the largest you can go with stock lift? Or do u see any issue?

[@Gunny559]

leeyoungsb75@ I’m 99% positive my stock Rubicon HardRock edition came with 33’s and they were good to go obviously. But other models like the Sahara, Sports don’t share the same ride height so I’m told. Save yourself some cash and look for a set of New sorta used BFG’s that another Jeeper is probably selling. I sold mine cheap after only a month.

[@amonGustavo07]

[@WeAreNotHomeToday]

I am thinking in getting these rims for my JKU, are these the 17x9.5 witht eh -18mm offset?

[@Gunny559]

TheWerewolfe @ they only offer one offset I believe in the 17,18,19. You have to go 20x13 if you want the bigger lip. I was able to take off the SPACERS I had on with my stock rims. I highly recommend these rims bro. Totally not what we see everyday.

[@WeAreNotHomeToday]

Thanks for the REPLY!!! I was worried the offset you had was Custom because I hate the one they have on there website pictures (Big Lip). I am gonna pick some of these up, They are on sale for 180 right now so I got to have them!

[@Gunny559]

@TheWerewolfe , $180 is a deal. I paid $225 but I didn't have to pay for shipping. I got mine from Les and they were cool. Shoulda heard everyone's reaction of them mounted bro! Once that hub cap goes on the whole thing grabs so much attention!

[@the_7th]

@@keithhepworth2821 I ordered a set last week and they came in today, the outer bolts were plastic on 3 of the wheels except one wheel. That one wheel was made in 2018 (looking at the date on the backside). All the others where made in 2019. This kind of thing really grinds my gears. It's not the vendors/dealers fault from where I bought it from. This goes back to the manufacturing facility from when the company decided to go from metal to plastic. That one wheel with the metal outer bolts weighs 1/2 pound heavier than the other wheels too. I'd rather have all wheels the same with metal bolts even if they rust over time.

Do you drive long miles with this wheel? Im in south florida and im going to be doing this on my daily driver and im curious about getting my rotors too hot if that is possible, because of the no ventilation these wheels are solid. Thanks for any info.
