Default Need Help with backspacing. Please guy dont be to hard on me for this either.

I'm new to the jeep community so i learning as i go. I have a 2010 Jeep Unlimited Sport. Just ordered my Wild Boar Fastback top with dual sunroofs. $$$$$$$
I want to run some Nitto Trail Grapplers 35x12.50 20s. I talked to a guy at my Jeep dealer and they can put on a Rustys 3.25 advanced lift kit on for me and wont effect my warranty. The wheels i want are 20x 9.5, -10 offset, and if im correct i think that about 4.8 backspacing. Besides the fact that im putting 20s on my jeep,, Should i be worried about any rubbing issues? Please help me out. one other thing its a dd so i probably wont hit the trails much if at all. I live in Baltimore M.D. Not much offroading here. Thanks in advance.

If the dealer is clever enough to put on the lift they should be clever enough to get the back spacing right also. Just ask them.
You may have to trim the pinch seam to clear the rear tires.

I would get the "It won't impact the warranty" bit in writing. As someone else said, you ~4.5" of back spacing. 20's with 35's are not going to be a good setup for offroading, so if this is just mall crawler, cool, if not, you may want to think about wheel choice.

Thanks guys for the input. I have a lil more time to do some thinking. My wife put the brakes on my projects for now. I may have to go with a smaller wheel after she get done with my pockets anyway. But hey, it is what it is. Hmmnnn..........Maybe I can trade her in for another Jeep?
