1) do the off sets on jeep wheels go up the farther they stick out or do they do down. I hate how my factory wheels sit inside the fender i would like them to sit almost flush with the wheel wheels like my front wheels do.

2) what is highest speed you can do in 4wd?

:D

I want the rim to sit flush, so how can i make that happen?

I was just curious so i know not to go to fast on the highway when it snows.

sit flush with the edge of your jeep so that your tires don't stick out is what your getting at right.

Kind of, right now they sit in the fender. I would like them to sit flush, so i need a spacer or something to push them out a little do they make spacers for jeeps? i know they make them for my car.

how far in are they and do you plan on getting bigger/wider tires at any point. I know someone made spacers but heard some negative things about them.

There probably in about a 3/4 of and inch and no im not going any bigger of a tire i have 235/75/15's now and its my winter ride that i commutte with. Would i be better off gettin a new set of rims with a different off set?

Do you have the website so i can at least look at them and see if its something i should persue.

As for 4wd speeds:
In 4Lo speed usually isn't an issue. I don't recall the fastest I've had it 4Lo but I do know it was in 4th gear.
4HI I'd say what ever you feel comfortable with in the conditions your in.

mine sit flush, but the fronts are too wide, so I had to fiddle with those adjustment screws, which limit how far over the front tire will turn (im not sure if im the only one, but mine, the nut was welded to the bolt, so I had to put a washer behind it to stop the tire from rubbing stuff under there)
