The deal is that I have had this kit in my garage it is the Rubicon Express 2" Economy Kit, someone in my local club told me that you can't install this kit without replaceing the stock rims with after market rims due to back spacing issues. What size back spacing due i need to be able to install this kit? I was looking at these wheels just for the price factor until i can afford something a little nicer. The Pro Comp (Series 7069) 1-Piece Flat Black 17 * 9

 

Get some Spidertrax wheel spacers and they will solve your backspacing issues for a lot less than new wheels. There's plenty of people on here running them. Search the for sale section. You can usually find a set much cheaper than buying new.

 

Yeah I was thinking about that route just wasnt sure how the wheel spacers would hold up, but im trying to find out what the back spacing has to be on new wheels?

 

I ran that kit on my 07 rubicon for 2 years without out any backspacing issues. I just had stock rubicon alloys.
