Look at the FAQ section but for the most part 4.5 or less is preferred without wheel spacers currently I'm running 4,5 backspacing with 15x10 wheels on 35x12.50R15 tires and a 4'' lift no rubbing, popping, or grinding and its a DD

4.5" backspacing, yes. But what about the offset?

I've read the FAQ, but still wondering what the optimal range is for wheel offset for a 35 x 12.5 inch tire. Is -12mm too much on a 17x9 rim with 4.5" bs?
