I am planning on installing the Front DTD on my 2 dr 09 JK. I have dick cepek 35's and 17x9 wheels that have 4.53" of backspacing. Do you think there will be any issues with that? I saw on EVO's site they mention that backspacing adjustments may be neecessary with this set up (??)

 

Over stock which is 6.25 I believe.
You are fine.

 

My buddy just put on their Bolt On Coil Overs so it may not apply here, but his wheel backspacing was 4.56 and he had to run 1.25 spacers, pushing the tires way out. Again, the DTD may be different than the Bolt Ons but his backspacing wouldnt work.

 

Who knows....it's all such a mystery.

 

When I installed my Evo bolt on kit last year it mention that it required a minimum backspacing of 3.75" due to the risk of possibly rubbing the tire on the shock tower at full stuff. While not the same kit I could see this being the reason they suggest a backspacing adjustment on the DTD.

 

So you put on spacers? How is that going?

 

No spacers, my 15" MB72 wheels have a backspacing of 3.50" I believe. I got a bit lucky there, tires clear everything fine.

 

Really? that would be cool and a relief.

 

You should probably contact EVO. I'm pretty sure you will need spacers.

Just in case I should come up with some other build ideas that are gnarley.
