    New to the forum and new to Jeep. Retired senior. Just purchased a 2015 JK that needs new tires. The current wheel is 225/75/16.I wanted to upgrade the tires and wheels. I purchase 265/70/17 and new wheel. Not installed yet. I ordered the wheels today. they are 17x8. Had to pick between 10mm and 25mm offset. Thinking less is better I picked 10mm. Wanted to stay close to stock. Now I am concerned I made a mistake. Should I be concerned at all about look and fit at 10mm? Appreciate any input

    Welcome @Wildwood737 OEM wheels have 6.25" backspacing so your wheels should fit. Offset and backspacing are terminology that gets confused quite often. Think of offset as the measurement from the mounting surface to the CENTER of the wheel. 10mm offset is approximately 4.89".

    @Wildwood737 this is approximately what you can expect.
