Default A couple quick ones

Alright so I'm getting 37's and I have a few quick questions.
1. I want to go with a 16" wheel with a 3.5" backspacing. Will that work with out any modifications to things?
2. 5.13's or 4.88's?
3. Tire/ wheel combo recommendations? I want to go with a wider tire like 13.5 or so.

thanks fellas

:
1. Depends on lift height, flat/chopped flares, bringing in the steer stops, trimming bumpers/rubi rails/pinch seam/whatever. Just depends...

2. You have an Auto. It's a Rubicon. Go with 5.38's !!!

3.

4. C Gussets

5. Flashpaq

I do not think you can get a 37" MTR for a 16" wheel. I had 16" wheels and went to 17's due to the limited number of options for 37" tires.
