Hi Guys,
I apologize if this has been covered already! Is anyone running 35x12.5xr7 MTRs or KM2s on on a 17x9 wheel with 4.75 backspacing?
I have an 09 jk w/ a 2.5 lift and I'm considering this setup but i'm getting mixed reviews on clearance ....

Thanks

 

35's on a 17x9 are great. I have ran them in the past. However, all my wheels have always had 4.5" back spacing. You should be fine. What wheels are you wanting that have that back spacing? May try searching that wheel on here, just a thought

 

I was looking at procomps, but I'd pretty much put anything on thats not steel, fits, and is black

 

There are also plenty of pro comps with 4.5 spacing if you don't want 4.75. I have had two sets of XDs and love them

 

I'm running those with 4.5" of backspacing as well with no rubbing. I don't have the splash guard however. You most likely will rub there. Not sure if that extra .25" will cause additional rubbing. You may have to add washers under the steering stops if so.
