Any issues with them sticking out past the flares? Hoping to go 265/70 soon.

If you bolt up a JK rim on a WH/XH with a 5mm spacer you will clear the brakes by 4mm.
I brought jk wheels for my xh about 2 months ago not knowing this then i saw this thread so i just left them sitting in the garage and out of curiosity the other day i took off a xh wheel and measured the offsets and backspacing they are the same.

I thought maybe the the spokes are slightly thicker or different shape so i put the jk wheel on and it fit without hitting the brakes, winning.

You have better luck then me, The set of Moab's from a 2007 JK I tried clamped tight against the front brake caliper. Cleared the rear but not the front.

For once something goes my way, strange that they didn't fit yours but fit mine i think it must be a hit and miss.

In the end of the day it was a good score 5 rim that where driven from jeep to the wheel shop and removed and i got them for $195 with the sensors in them.

Did you check front or rear? It's the front calipers JK rims won't clear, not back...

BTW, spacers are illegal in Aus. Crash and you are likely to be not insured.

I checked the front, rear brakes are always smaller, you all have me doubting myself now i only checked the drivers side might check passengers side as well now haha.

I know spacers are illegal i never have ran them and i never would, i just don't get the people that do it's a lot to risk.
