So I picked up a set of ProComp 7089 17x9 with 4.75" back spacing and stock rubi tires. I'm not planning on lifting more than 1" if at all, but I wanted something more aggressive than stock. I like the look of the classic wheels in black but notice that my choices in back spacing is limited to 4.5 - 4.75" This sticks the tires out about 1.5" beyond the flares. I'm looking for no more than 0.5" beyond the flares or flush. The stock wheels tires were about 0.75" inside of the flares. It seems like 5.5" backspacing would bring the tires about flush.

Any suggestions on different wheels?

 

I'm in the same boat...seems like AEV wheels are the only option.

 

You could always use spacers.

 

The smallest spacer is 1.25". On stock wheels, this would push the back spacing to 4.75" the same as most of the wheels I've seen. I'm looking for 5.5 inches. Any suggestions?

 

Which AEVs are 5.5? I've only seen 4.5 or 4.75.

 

Jump on their website...I believe they are all at 5.2 BS.

 

I think 5.5" back spacing will put the tires just slightly out or flush with flares. Any one know of wheels with this back spacing?

 

5.5 would? I have stock Rubi wheels with 1.5 spidertrax and they're RIGHT at the fender edge if not poking out just a little.

 

From what I've read in these forums, the stock wheels for all JKs are 6.25" back spacing. If you have Rubi wheels with 1.5 spidertrax, that would put your backspacing at 4.75", but you say your flush with your fenders? The ProComp 7069s I have are 4.75" back sapcing, but the stock Rubi tires I have on them stick out 1.5" beyond the flares.

What tires do you have? Can you post a pic?

 

They're the BF Goodrich M/T's
