Default What spacer thickness to use 2017 JKU 17" wheels with 4.75 backspace.

I am changing my tire and wheel size. Going with 35x12.5x17 tires and 17" wheels with 4.75 backspace and 0 offset. Ideally I would like 4.5 with -6mm offset but the wheels I like are not made this way. I would like if someone could tell me what thickness spacers they would use to make up for the backspace and offset. My Jeep is a 2017 JKU Sahara with a 2.5 AEV duel sport lift, stock wheels with 1.5 spacers and 33" duratrac tires.

9" wide wheel? If so you should be able to run the 4.75" bs wheels with no spacers. If it were to rub the fenders it will be only slightly and you can always add some bump stop.

The wheels are 17 x 8.5. I would love to not have to use spacers. I just thought with 0 offset they would rub too much.
