Fuel Anza wheel backspacing
D557 Anza is a 15" series with 3.75 backspacing
D558 Anza is a 15" series with 3.75 backspacing
D583 Anza is a 17" series with either 4.50 or 5.0 backspacing
D116 Anza is a 17" series with 4.50 backspacing. This is a beadlock wheel.
I could not find the wheel your are describing.

OK, restating my original question another way.
Is anyone out there running 37" tires without either beadlocks or spacers. If so what wheels do you have.
Is anyone out there running wheels that have less than 4.5" backspacing? I'm finding my options are (extremely) limited. It seems that wheel manufactures have not kept pace with the larger tire options that are now available.
I drive this vehicle on the street to work so must have DOT approved wheels.

So....if push comes to shove, 4.5" and a 12.5" wide tire will be fine on the road, and offroad it's functional although not ideal. I drove and wheeled hard easily for a year just like that. I wish I had just bought beadlocks with 3.5" BS to begin with
edit - i should add i'm on 3.5" lift and fenderless.....just for the record as a lot of these comparisons are apples to oranges.

On the offchance you start to consider a 15 or 16" wheel, bear in mind you'll eliminate any big brake kit as a potential upgrade along the line.

Beadlocks and CHP
If one gets cited it is now like buying a house to pay the ticket with all of the additional "fees" tacked on. They don't call California the "Golden State" for nothing. The state earns that reputation.
Thanks for the heads up though.
