Hello all. Great site. I’’Ve got a 2015 jk.. I was wondering if I would still need to use 1.25 wheel spacers for 17x9 wheels with -12 offset on 37’s. The rig is currently on stock rubi wheels with Milestar 33’s. She’s also got 3.5 inch lift and 1 inch pucks with adjustable upper and rear control arms.

So the question is, with a -12 offset and removing the spacers, will it rub on anything or at full lock?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
Offset is not a term you'll hear used in the Jeep world. We go by backspacing indeed. However, -12 offset on a 9" wide wheel converts to 4.53" backspacing.

With 37" tires, you won't need a spacer at all with that amount of backspacing, you'll be just fine (y)

There shouldn't be any rubbing either.
