Yeah I think the deal is 2007 to 2010 have the 302mm rotors and fit 16s fine

2010 + with 332mm rotors you can only fit 16s with less than 4.5 inch backspacing (which is 0 offset and then you have all the Australian legal stuff that gets in the way)

I think some of the base 2010+ US wranglers still had 302 rotors but the Au exports had 332s.

Please someone correct me if this is not correct

So does that mean with a big brake 3.6, I could fit 16x8 with a zero offset steel wheel to be able to run Simex's for some off road work?
Does anybody know if these would fit over the disc/calipar package?

If you are using factory fenders you can choose the wheel offset based on these popular JK specific wheels.

17x9 with 4.53in backspace
