4.5 backspacing question
If I were to buy any wheel with a 4.5 backspacing with 33 x 12.50 r17 will it fit a 09 jk withouth a lift or spacers and will their be any rubbing issues,thanks in advance.
The backspacing just ensures that you don't have interference issues in the axis along the axle, so you will not need spacers
The second factor is the diameter of the tire. 32" tires clear with no rubbing, but with 33's you may have minor rubbing with the wheels turned. How much rubbing depends on which 33" tire you are considering since there can be almost 1" variance between different brands.
Lot of this information is in the FAQ.
