So the JK has 6.35mm less offset than the WJ in comparable 17" rims. I think some of the older 16" WJ rims were a different width and therefore also different offset, never had anything to do with those.

Oh and yes I have used the JK rims when I had my WJ, so this is first hand experience. The Commander rims are the same as the JK too. I rant hem with a 6mm spacer so had 12mm less offset. The 6mm with 265/70's is still a bit marginal.
Thanks fester.
I'm sorry I didn't find an appropriate thread to answer the question.
Maybe an update to the 'sticky' http://www.ausjeepoffroad.com/forum/...ad.php?t=86851
would be good if possible.

Thanks again mate,
Ruffy.
