not true if you have a 10 inch wide wheen aith the same backspacing of an 8inch wide one the 10 inch is going to be an inch wider on both ends allowing the tire to spread out wider.

wheel spacers scare me i have been known to beat the hell out of my jeep and i have heard of spacers snaping.

i really cant believe i am the onlyone having this problem. is anyone else running 10 inch wide rims??

 

That is incorrect. The width of the wheel has nothing to do with back spacing. It either has a specified amount of backspacing, or it doesn't. It has to do with the wheel mounting surface (wms) distance to the inboard wheel flange. The tire does spread, but it also depends on the tire width which is a related but different issue.

Here is a link on how to measure it. http://www.fourwheeler.com/techartic...tte/index.html

Edit: I think you are talking about wheel offset which relates to backspacing in relation to wheel width.

 

this is why i post here is for the education

question back with more lift will i still have the same problem? i like my offset and my rim size cause it gives a wider foot print so im not giving that up.

 

yeah see the dirt ramp showed me i need to cut into the tub. thats with the sway bar connected. i guess the springs finially settled cause i didnt have this problem before

 

the rear is where it was rubin and i don't disco the rear either. i have a 4.5 inch backspacing like recomended. i know i am going to have to trim the pinch seam that scares the hell out of me
