Default Backspacing

My brother-in-law has a TJ and purchased a 2" Procomp budget boost. The lift specs said it would clear 32x11.5 tires. He's looking at replacing the stock wheels to avoid rubbing the larger tires. What back spacing does he need? Thanks for your help in advance.

Mostly any "offroad" focus wheels will have the proper backspacing. But you are looking for a negative offset.

Thanks for the feedback. He said he is leaning toward 4.5" back spacing. Just concerned that will stick out way past the flares.

I have 4.25 and they maybe stick out an inch... you'll be fine.
