[QUOTE="FLGeezer, post: 457461"] New to me JK did not come with a spare. Looking at getting new tires all way round plus adding a spare (MTs to ATs). Looking at buying a matching rim for the spare but the rims I have are hard to find. So, some questions: (By the way, I'm an old fart and have always called them "rims" and not "wheels". A "wheel" was the total package...tire + rim = wheel. Apparently somewhere in time people started calling "rims" as "wheels".) 1. You guys running a matching rim on your spare? If so, do you include the spare in your rotation scheme? 2. To be honest, until I started looking at Jeeps I never heard of wheel offset. I just always bought the recommended tires for my vehicles. So, I'm a bit confused. I did find one source for my rims but one is a positive offset and one is a negative: [URL]https://www.tiresandwheels.com/catalog.php?cat_id=171&scat_id=1472&c-vid=126559[/URL] Not sure but I'm thinking mine are negative, after Googling a bunch. (btw, my tires are 35x12.5x17). Here's photos....negative, right? [ATTACH type="full"]124141[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]124142[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
