Default Pro Comp Wheels

New here! Trying to learn and gather as much info as possible. I'm getting a JK Sahara Unlimited asap and thinking about putting on the Teraflex 2.5 lift w/ BFG AT 305/65/18 33.7" x 12.2 Tirerack has them and says wheel should be 9" wide. So i have found some Pro Comp Cast Blast 7189 Series wheels in 18" x 9" that i like. Does anyone have these wheels or know what the backspacing is? Any thoughts or info would be much appreciated.

Basically the same wheel. The one i was looking at is the 7189 series. Found it on 4wd.com They showed it as a 5x5 BP but wasn't sure what backspacing is. What does 5" equal in mm?

Default Decision made!

I have decided to stick with the stock 18" rims that come on the Sahara and i will put on the Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor tires in a 275/70 R18 which says it's 33.2" x 11" and should fit these rims perfectly. Is anyone running this tire on their JK?

Did you make the change to the silent armors? Do you have a pic? I am considering the same change and would like to hear your feedback?
