3 inch lift with 6 inch fender flares: What offset wheels do I need?

[JohnJ78]

Got a TJ 2006. I just want the tires to fill out the guards. It's got 2 inch lift plus 40mm coil spacer. Current tires are 33x12.5 but they sit 40mm outside guards, so offset of rims is obviously way out and they need to go. Current rims have no stamping/markings so no idea of offset.

What offset rims do I need?

I'm thinking 32x11.5R15 or 32x12.5R15 on a 15x8 rim. Tire shop said they can order in a -25 offset rim and see how it fits, but I just want to see if anyone else has 6 inch guards with 2-3 inch lift to see what you're running. I think standard guards are 4.5 inch? So mine are 1.5 inches wider than stock. Basically I want the edge of the tire to line up with the outside of the guard. Where I live it's illegal to have tires that stick out past guards.

I don't mind a bit of rubbing at full lock.

Thanks

In on 33 12.5 15 I have 3.75 back spacing. No rubs if I look up the description of the rim it said-19 offset

One thing though is did the bump stops get extended with the lift

Do you have 6 inch guards or the stock 4.5 inch?

Factory flares I have about 2 inches of poke so with 6 inch you should be good

If you like your tire choice then just buy some Rubicon fender flares. They are two inches wider than normal TJ flares. 40 mm is about 1.5 inches so everything should tuck in nicely. They are easily available new by several brands. That way you can keep your rims, keep your tires, and get nice shiny new flares to show off your ride.
