sorry at first I thought "BS" you were meaning bullshit

The rims on my JK unlimited are 3.75" backspacing 15x8 (I just looked at my Summit receipt) the 4" one was a brain fart on my part

so to clarify: on my JK (the only one applicable here) I have Cregar 15x8 with a 3.75" BS and running 35x12.5" Radial Claws. The tires stick maybe 2" past the fenders at most. There is no clearance issues, my turning radius seems the same, and nothing rubs with a 4" lift. (hell, you could fit 37"s in there)

and If you give me a sec I will tell you the clearance to the caliper and if 4" BS should be a issue

 

Just looked at my caliper clearance and Go with the 3.75" BS, 4 would be cutting it WAY too close.

 

I call BS... do you have Creger wheels or Cragar wheels? Okay, just kidding, sorry I couldn't help it. Anyway, thanks for clarifying, in my reviewing of the gazillion threads, I could tell you were a real asset here, I wasn't trying to toss around poop like a monkey. Thanks for the info and for checking.

In seeing your other post, it seems like alot of people are running 4.0 BS with that wheel. I don't want to ask what would you do because that's silly, but I'm finding 4.0" BS 15x8 Cragars for $40 and 3.75" are twice that. Grrrr. Thanks.

 

a good way to get wheels and tire mount/balance at best market value is to purchase thru summitracing and referrance the rubber prices on tirepackage.com

same wheel summit racing, US wheel

 

its sick - cragars rule- how can anyone argue that price...

 

wow good deal - the wheels are more expensive but free mounting and balancing and $50 off the total because of the package ultimately makes it worth it - especially because I don't mind paying a premium for me to not have to deal with that. I built a cart on that site, but what do you mean by "purchase through summitracing" and "referrence on..."? I don't quite understand what that means, but tirepackage does seem like a good deal.
nice, good find. they're definitely cheaper than above so I'll have to digest this. thank you for the find and link!
yeah, I'm not sure how they make money selling wheels for $40 but oh well, that's not our problem
