I have a JK you that has a 2 inch lift and is on 33 inch tires. I am planning on putting 35 X 12.5 tires on it with 17 X 8.5 wheels. A lot of the wheels I like have a 4.75 inch backspacing. Would this be a good backspacing or would I want a different backspacing to avoid rubbing issues?

 

4.75 will be fine. 4.5 is ideal, but you can get by with up to 5.2" sometimes. If you have any sort of rubbing, you can also add a washer or two to the steering stops, but you should be perfectly fine with 4.75" BS.

 

• alright thanks you

 

35" tires vary in actual height and width, some will work and some will rub.
