Default Backspacing and problems with the JK brakes

I know that this has been talked about with different rims and sizes but I dont think I ever saw a picture of why there was a problem. I was installing my spidertrax and saw what the problem was. The brakes stick out past the wheel mounting surface. What a bone head job by Chrysler but here is some explination.

Thanks for the pic. I'm not a mechanic, but it makes sense to me. Chalk another one up to DC engineering.
