Who’s running 17 inch wheels? Pics please!

To be honest some times I wish I had gone with 15 inch wheels. With 35's the 17's look great but there are more 35 inch tires for 15 inch wheels in load range C.
The reason why is because I’m trying to get away from a 12.50 tire and I’m a 17 you can get 35s in a 10.5 and 11.5

What backspacing are they? Do you have a link or model name? This question has come up many times and I've never seen anyone post a viable wheel with a TJ bolt pattern.
I just did a search and extreme terrain has some. I didn’t look at all the wheels for backspacing but the one I clicked on was 4.75

17" Hutchinson DOT Street Legal Bead Locks with 37" MTR's...5x4.5 stock bolt pattern. Used to run Trail Ready 15", I liked the look of the Trail Ready better and the rock rings/dual valves for airing down were nice. The Hutchinson's aren't cheap but perform well. Pretty scratched up after 2 trips across the Rubicon with no outer ring. I have a YJ that inherited the Trail Ready rims. Note that 15" tires are beginning to get more expensive and harder to find than the more common 17" which is partially why I switched. I know you aren't looking for bead locks but that option might give you more choices in the original bolt pattern. Trail Ready also makes a "simulated" bead Lock that might be of interest to you. I have those on my trailer and they are sweet!

My wheels are Fuel Anza 17 x 8.5 with 5x 114.3 bp.

When I bought my first Jeep TJ the PO had put different Fuel wheels on that were just a different style with everything else the same. I liked the Anza and I knew the backspace would work.

Thanks. The wheels are 4.53" backspacing and I was pleasantly surprised to find out I did not need spacers after I installed them. However, I have not taken the Jeep anywhere to test if extreme flexing and turning may cause rubbing.
