Does anyone know for sure if the Black Rock 909's will fit? Claim to have 4" backspacing. I've got spacers but want to avoid that if possible.
Thanks!

Read my earlier post, #220. I have 4.0" backspacing. All fit perfectly except the front driver's side. Leads me to believe that there is no clear cut answer, because obviously the caliper dimensions are not held to the strictest standards, or else I think I would've seen the same type of fit at least on both front wheels. I think if you want to be sure there will be no rubbing, then try to get 3.5" or so of backspacing. 4.0 is cutting it really close. They will probably go on, but you may have to grind the calipers a little.

Thanks for the quick response. I tried searching for this and got a really broad set of results from the forum. You just saved me from going through this whole thread searching.
I'm ready to order wheels today. Now I've got a more informed decision to make.
take my chances on 4.0 bs?
change my wheel choice?
I'll post whenever I get all of this worked out and installed.

These are awesome..!

How wide are they and could you have run them without the spacers? I am going with 33's but want a 15x10

Just got my Jeep Monday night, Tires and wheels showed up Tuesday night

33x12.50x15 Goodyear Duratracs on MB72 15x8 wheels with 3.75" of backspace. No rub lock to lock in forward or reverse. Haven't disconnected offroad yet to see what happens when it's flexed.
