Personally, no however running the spare with the cap off may be the solution, or as 10K Vet noted, modify the cap so the rear camera pokes through.

It's only 3 screws to take off cap, the other ones are fake.

Sounds like a great plan for you for sure. I’ve never been a high mileage person but of course that could change. The swapping wheels if definitely a hassle, but my wheels have a 18mm more offset than yours, so will be even “worse” for camera views.

Yeah, I can see where the extra offset could be a problem for the camera, especially if you tried to install a tire cover. It’d be tough to make it stay in place behind the camera. It’s already a concern for me at 0 offset.

Good luck!

The guy I talked to who has these wheels claims that with the offset of -18 compared to factory +30 (delta of 1.9”), the camera gets hidden or very obscured. Adding @10K_Vet to get his feedback as well

Anyone seen the camera stub made longer?

Are you looking at the 17x8.5 ET-18 version?

If so, with the help of another person, I would try sliding the factory wheel down 2-inches off the carrier then check the camera visibility. The lip of the 17x8.5 ET-18 is going to sit 2-inches further out over the factory SAS wheel.

For reference, the 17x8.5 ET-18 Abram is going to sit just over 1/2" further out over the 17x9 ET0 Primm that Johnny Rebel has mounted.

I have -18 offset on mine and can see just fine with the camera. I have a non squatch badlands.

So many great looking wheel tire combos on here! I used to have the KMC 718s in 17x8.5 0mm offset, now I have my first choice of wheels on that took some time to arrive - Black Rhino Rumbles in 17x8.5 0mm offset wrapped in 37x12.5 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/Ts with RPG perch collars. The two issues I had were getting my homemade mudflaps to not inferfere but that was a pretty simple fix, and very slight rub on the fenders at full flex but not enough to cause me any concern, no marks left on tires or anywhere.

718s

I really like the super simple look of the Rumbles

And a towing pic for fun, bit of sag but after adjusting the leveling bars on the distribution hitch it sat perfectly. Did 5k miles on this trip.

How are the M/T Baja Boss A/T's working for you?

Coated w what? I have a similar design and it’s tough to keep clean - did you coat them with something to help repell dirt / brake dust? if so, whatever you used can it be done when the wheels are mounted?

Coated with a rim specific ceramic coating. I always do 2 coats. Does ultimately the same thing as a ceramic coating. So easier to clean, minerals don’t stick to them as easier, and protects them from elements as much as it can. You could definitely do it with the wheels mounted just would take a bit more time. I’ll attach the link to the product I use.

Thanks for sharing photos, that is a sweet looking rig!

Loving that new wheel and tire combo you are running, clean and also has a solid aggressive look.

Nice job on the mudflaps.

I like the KMC wheels a lot but having the faux bolts around the rim periphery is something I not that fond of.
