Wheel Spacers w/ 35's

So... I've got 35's w/ 4.5" wheel backspacing. Any thoughts about going wider?

I had some on and it looked pretty wide, if you're going for that kind of look go for it but watch wheel components, they should stick out enough if they're 12.5's

im running 35s at 2.75 backspacing right now no issues...for coilovers and 37s you will want less backspacing than 4.5. Some Coilovers they recommend 3.5 or less
