Default Lookin to commit murder...

well, I'm the new owner of a black 07 Rubicon Unlimited and absolutely like the all black look, I wanna go with 35's on 20" rims and wanna know if these will work, my question is concerning backspace, I have no idea if these will work as they have 6" and I keep seeing the number 4.5", I dont go off roading so articulation isnt a great concern to me, I know I need a 2" - 3" lift to fit 35s

The off roading isn't the issue. If you don't have enough backspacing or run wheel spacers, you won't be able to turn your steering wheel all the way without your tires rubbing.

Please don't take this the wrong way but I never understood why someone would buy a vehicle with the absolute worst aerodynamics and the least amenites and not use it for the one thing for which it is the best.
