Don't forget your wheel/tire size rules for "Offroad". sidewall height needs to stay as near or "over" 1/2 wheel size; 20" wheel = 40" tire or larger, 17" wheel = 34" tire or over.

They have a 3.5'' backspacing.

I love my Spyderlocks! (They only come in 3.5" backspace.) I chose them for looks and function. I also looked closely at the TrailReady beadlocks. I don't have my new bumpers yet, so the spare isn't up yet. By the way, sorry for the crappy cell phone pic, and the center caps weren't on when I took this pic.

I like the way the AEV's look on my JK and they have held up well when wheeling.

For those of you running AEV beadlocks, are you also running a spacer? Have been looking at those wheels but am wondering about the rubbing I might get if I mount 37" meats onto them. Thanks.
