Default How much backspacing needed for IROK 36x13.5R16

With 4.5" RE lift. Actual tire height is 36.8 and tread width is 14". How much backspacing would be needed...or is this tire just too wide for a jeep?

I'm running 3.625 inches of backspacing on a 15x10 and have plenty of clearance. I didn't have to trim anything up front..... Hope this helps....

Thanks for the reply...Would you mind posting a pic, i didnt see any on your profile...I want to see how badass those IROKS look on your jeep

How do they perform??? Im in alaska so i drive on mostly snow, ice, deep silt, a lot of water crossings, a few rocks (but none that my stock rubi cant handle), and a little mud... and because its also my daily driver, hows the highways handle? Thanks again

Was thinking exact same tires for mine. Are yours Bias or Radial? How many miles you put on them?

RC 2.5" BB, PA 2" BL, 36x13.50-15 Irok bias plys, 3.75" backspacing 15x10 wheels. Had to do some trimming on the front bumper and the air damn. Also made my own extended bump stops for the rear.



On road isn't the best by any means but great oof road.

ive been driving a 4" lift with stock arms and that doesnt bother me so i think these will be alright. i only care about off road performance i just hope these tires will atleast last me 25k maybe 30.. Any guess on how many miles youll get out of your bias plys?
