If these are paired with 285/70R17 BFG K03s on a stock suspension JL Sport, will the tires rub anywhere while pavement with the wheel turned at full lock, or at any time off-road? Thanks.
No, they should not rub.

When you pair the Quadratec CJ Retro Alloy Wheel 17x8.5 with 5.2in Backspace with 285/70R17 tires (which is the standard Rubicon-size tire, roughly equivalent to a 33x11.50") on a stock-suspension JL Sport, you will not experience any rubbing during pavement driving at full steering lock, nor during normal off-road articulation.

The 5.2-inch backspace combined with the 8.5-inch width provides proper clearance against the inner liner and control arms, and a 33-inch tire easily clears the factory JL fenders without a lift.
Can I order these wheels with the black centers?
The black wheels will come with black centers. The white and chrome can not be customized to come with black centers. However, black centers may be purchased seperately.
I'm interested in these wheels for my 86 CJ, but it doesnt appear they fit (5x5.5). Is this correct?
Correct. This part number is for a 5x5 bolt pattern.
It says they don't fit on a 2024 jeep gladiator? Is this correct?
That is not correct. These WILL fit a 2024 JT.
Will a set of 245/75 R17 fit on these rims?
Yes, they will.
Is there any chance of these being discontinued? Just want to know if there will be availability for future purchases of them in later time.
Our current ETA for getting these wheel back in stock is late-April 2025. Please contact customer service at [email protected] or 1-800-745-5337 for further updates. We do allow for pre-orders as well.
1) 2024 Wrangler Sport. Will the wheel offset be the same as the factory steel wheels? What would you recommend for the best spacer possible/compatible with these wheels? 2) Can I order the matte black wheels with chrome caps and lugs, (instead of all matte black)? Thanks!
No. This wheel is .8" to 1" wider stance than your stock wheel. A wheel spacer should not be needed unless the tire is 37" or greater. An alternate center cap option is not available and all lug nuts are sold separately. Thanks for your inquiry. Thanks for your inquiry.
Are these available in a 5x4.5 pattern for TJ/LJ models?
Unfortunately, they are not. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Have 4 of the 17" alloy retro wheels in my shopping cart. Want to install on my 2021 Gladiator. Want to use tire size 265/70/17 highway tread. Will that fit/function?
Yes, they will be appropriate for your tire size and give it a real nice stance as well. Thanks for your inquiry.
I have a 2022 JT. What series tire should I use 75 or 70? As of right now I plan to use 265/70/17 on retro style wheels. Thanks.
The 75 series vs a 70 would usually be more suitable sizing for a JT 32.6" OD vs the 31.6" OD of a 70. Thanks for your inquiry.
