"getting rolling big power 93r or 94r"?
Lost me on what your talking about here, this a type of wheel?
I too have a 2011 2dr Sahara, put on Ultra Drifters 16 X 8" wheels with 4.5" backspacing which eliminates the need for spacers. Went with 16" rims as 18" tires cost a fortune, also gives the tire a more beefier look. Bought 285/75 - 16 Goodyear Wrangler DuraTracs, their just a hair shy of 33" and
will fit right almost completely under the fender, just the side wall lugs peeking out. No lift is required and their a very well handling tires. I've made two trips to southern Nova Scotia (from southwestern Ontario) with no incidents. (Except for being spray painted by a line marking road crew, thankfully they were using caution yellow, which almost matches Detonator Yellow!)

ya haha there rims, which was why i was asking about the spacers as the rims have i believe a 6 bolt pattern or something like that, the website said it wouldnt work on a jeep, but ive seen them on diffferent jeeps, and i was thinking of reducing the size of the rims as well for price wise, and really nice looking jeep by the way!, also the reason i ask about the spacers is i like the look where the tires come out past the fenders about 1-2", but that also makes me wonder if its legal and what other things will i have to replace, such as add a lift, etc. i might look into a 2-3 inch lift if it doesnt void the warranty. any suggestions on lifts as well?

I am pretty sure you can get the correct bolt pattern for those wheels. In addition you won't need spacers since you can get difference offsets. I would call the manufacture and enquire about the different setups you can run with those rims.

As for legality of the tires/offset/backspacing? Unknown.

hey guys, ive finally decided what im thinking of getting the new KMC xd Rockstar 2 rims and ---- Cepek fun country 33x12.5,, that being said i fi wanted my tire to stick out would i need the rim to be a 17x9 with a -12 offset? or more of an offset? i want about 1-2" out, and should i worry about rubbing on my fender or anything of the sort? thanks for all the help by the way

Re: Ideas?
 
-12 will definitely stick out. 0 offset already sticks out a bit so -12 should do the trick.
