Default Help from those running 37's needed
I am moving up to 37's next week and can't decide on what backspace to run so that I don't hit the frame or CA's at full turn.

I'm running 4.5 with my 35's now and am thinking closer to 4.0 or 4.25 might be better ??

Any input is much appreciated as I am trying to avoid running spacers

Thanks.

I'm running stock Moab wheels with spidertrax 2" spacers and put 3 washers in each steering stop and my tires don't rub the frame at full turn anymore

Where did you find 2" Spidertrax spacers? They only make up to 1.75" spacers for the JK as far as I know.

I run the 37" MTR's in a 4.5" bs wheel and a 1.5" Spidertraxx spacer. I still have to have 1 washer on the steering stops to stay out of the CA's.

I'm running 3.75 BS on 37x12.5 mtr-k without any issues. My old 4.75bs would rub a bit on the frame and control arms
