If I am wrong could someone please explain, perhaps northridge could chime in as they are selling these rims to fit. I would really like to stick with 17s and a backspace of about 5" as I don't plan to ever run bigger than 37s. Thanks
I'm also interested to hear of anyone running more than 3.5" backspacing. Also anyone know how has the best price right now? Best quote I've found so far is 11,400 for the pair.

What tie rod are people going with? I have the synergy and it is max collapsed causing the toe to be maxed. Tires are pushed out slightly. Thoughts or opinions?

You don't have any more room to go in there?

How far out are you? You can cut down the passenger side bung a little bit if need be. They extend into the tube so there is still plenty of material there for the end to thread in to. I would feel perfectly comfortable taking 3/16's off. Just my .002

I don't have alignment specs but I need them. I'd say on the outer tire about half an inch or more isn't making contact on pavement and I have full contact on the inner tires. Honestly don't think cutting 3/16 an inch off will be enough. My tie rod bolt to bolt seems to be around half an inch shorter than the factory axles

I can't say for sure but most likely not... I had a guy message me about his trailready's with 4.5 backspace having fitment issues

I wonder exactly what issue he is having, did he mention a particular spot that it was contacting, for example was is the back of the spokes contacting the calliper? I'm finding it hard to understand why and extra inch of dish on the back often rim would cause a problem unless there becomes a step in the dish once you go more than 4" of backspace
