I am ordering 35X12.50R17LT-8 Ply Dick Cepek Radial Mud Country tires.
I was hoping to get Pro Comp Series 7089 wheels. They are 17x9, 5on5 with 4.75" back spacing.
I was wondering if anyone had info on if that back spacing will be ok.
Extra info: I'm getting the rubicon x 2" BB, i have a black sahara unlimited if that matters.
thanks for your help!

 

4.75" backspacing should be fine for a 9" wide rim, but 35's on a 2" budget boost might be a little much. Good luck.

 

Is it going to be mostly a problem with big flexing off road?? how will it be for normal driving? do you think full turn will rub?
I would like to go with the 3.5" rubi lift but the height in the underground parking of the condo is tight!!

 

I wish they had 4.5" BS but no they dont. Actually i wish they had 4".

 

I need to clear something up. I dont know what i'm talking about so thats why i'm asking.... does a higher number for back spacing mean the tire is further from the body? if so then the rubbing issue would be with the fenders? or is it the other way around?? ..................i'm a noob

 

You know, those tires weigh appx. 80lbs ea! There are plenty of choices in the 60-70lb range, could easily save well over 40lbs in case you were interested.

 

you'll be fine.. just take the front Air damn off...

I'm running the same rims.. works great

 

what would you recomend for a tire that isn't just for off roading.... 99% of use will be on road as my daily driver... thanks for your help

 

I'm runing the Xtreme MT's.. I'll probley switch to extreme AT's when I go up to 37's.... I dont wheel the JK enough to really be running MT's 24/7.
