So back spacing on that wheel would only be 2.25" ?? that doesnt seem right ..
Well, is is POSITIVE or, NEGATIVE offset?

One moves it from the centerline closer to the inboard, one closer to the outboard....IE: It could be 4.25" BS at zero offset, or 6.25" BS 2" outboard (Making the inboard dish deeper, etc.)

When I had my white Rubicon Unlimited (I have since traded in for an '08 Sahara) I had the Hulk Commander Wheels with Hankook Dynapro MTs (35"). I had rubbing at full turn but otherwise was okay. I was running a Skyjacker 2.5" lift with 1" spacers as well.

Wheel spacers would have solved the rubbing problem but I never installed them.
