Wheel spacers
So I'm in the market for some wheel spacers. I have a 2017 JKU Sport S. it comes with 32in tires. Would like to put some spacers on them now that I could also use later when I put on some 35s and a lift. I understand they come in different widths. Any recommendations on sizing and brands?

You would be better off getting new wider with a 4.5" back spaced wheels when you are ready for 35's as the stock wheel is more narrow then most tire manufacturers recommend for the bigger wider tires. Depending on the wheels you choose it may be very little in additional cost.

What exactly do you mean about a 4.5in back spacer? Is that different from wheel spacers? Sorry some of this stuff is new to me!

So would it be safe to say that the back spacing is something included in the rim to where it mounts? Thus giving it a wider wheel base due to the rim without having to mount another piece like a spacer?

Yup.. less backspacing moves the centerline of the wheel outward.

Thanks! Is the consensus that a 4.5in backspacing on wranglers do the job then?
