Was hoping someone might be able to give me a quick answer on this before I place an order. did a few searches and didn't find the info.

Anyone running the rugged ridge aluminum 17x9 rims with 4.75 Backspacing have rubbing issues with a lift and 35x12.5's? I know everyone says to go with 4.5BS, so I thought I'd double check.

these are the rims:

THE RUGGED RIDGE WEBSITE SAYS 4 5/8 BACKSPACING. I DON'T THINK YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE ANY PROBLEMS. I HAVE ORDERED THESE RIMS AND THEY SHOULD BE IN BY THE END OF THE WEEK. I AM GOING TO BE RUNNING 37 1250 17 KM2'S. I SHOULD HAVE THE TIRES ON BY THE WEEKEND AND I WILL GIVE YOU A UPDATE.

CHECK OUT THE ALLJEEPSTUFF WEBSITE, GREAT PRICING

4WD HARDWARE WILL PRICE MATCH IF YOU ARE INTERESTED.

 

thanks ckivy. really appreciate it!

 

LOOK>...




no rubbing.

I have 35's

 

nice! that's my tire/wheel combo too.

 

I'm getting AEVs' with 4.7" BS. . . they say that will fly with 35's.

 

Nice before and after pic too!

 

Now I'm gonna knock you out Chris. Not only did you get 37's but you are also getting the wheels I originally wanted. But I went with the less expensive version (pretty close lookin) of this wheel. ($129 a wheel)

OH...and did your CAPS button get stuck???

 

Im running the procomp 8179 17x9 4.75 Backspacing with BFG KM2"s 35x12.50x17 no issues

P.S. thats with the R.E. 3 1/2 superflex
