Tire fit

Hi guys!

Planning on fitting my JK Sahara 2-door with:

M/T MTZ 37x18x13,5" tires
MotoMetal 18x9" rims
Bushwacker fender flares

Could anyone please tell me what backspacing I need, in order to keep it within the flares? Yep, stupid question, I know. Just too lazy digging into it...

Thx, Dave

Usually 4.5'' of backspacing works... but I dont think 37's are going to stay in the stock flares no matter what rims you get. Those tires are huge.

Okay just re-read your post... yeah you will want 4.5 inches of backspacing.
