Just want to make sure I didn't screw up ordering my wheels.

I ordered 17x9 Pro Comp 7069 with 4.75" BS
to go on my
09 Unlimited X with a 2.5BB from Teraflex.

Will I still run with my wheel spacers? Should there be an off set? there was nothing in the description. I ordered them from Quadratec.

Thanks

Nope, you're good to go now. No spacers needed with the new backspacing.

You won't need the spacers because the bs will have taken car of it. Tflex recommends at least 4.5 to run 35s with a bb.

Simple math.

Stock BS is 6.25". Using a 1.5" spacer makes your BS 4.75".
New rims are 4.75". Using the spacers makes your BS 3.25"

No need for the spacers unless you want a wider stance.
