5.48" backspacing

Does anyone know if a wheel with 5.48" backspacing will work without mods? I have 35x12.5x17 tires on the stock moabs now

Generally you need 4.5 or less to not have to run spacers.

I have found it is more about width then size. What width you got on your 33's?

x2. Tire diameter is not the issue, it is tire width. If you read the FAQ you will find that you need spacers or 4.5-4.7" max of backspacing to clear 12.5" wide tires from interference at full turn.
