Default Wheel backspacing and tire width
Hey everyone,

Question for ya. I have wheels with 4.6 bs they are 17x9 -12mm offset. My 35x12.5x17 bfg km2 are perfect. I was wondering, with those wheels, can I run 37x13.5x17 Toyo mt's?

Perfect! That's exactly what I was looking for. What size wheels are you on. 17's?

What back spacing would you need to run the 37/1350 toyos without spacers?
