Outstanding! I have been going back and forth on spacers and how wider tires would look, but this answers my question. I hate how far in the wheels look with stock back spacing. I might go ahead and pick up some spacers, just to get my stock tires out.

plenty of room for flex, never rubbed. BS is 4.5" on the pro comp 1069's

My suspension is stock except for a set of 2" coils in the front just to make the Jeep sit level after installing a winch.

Factory backspacing without spacers (I'm running 1.5" Spidertrax); the odds are very high that you will experience rubbing on the sway bar at full steering lock. I did, as has just about everyone else running the factory 6.25" backspaced wheels. You other option is to swap the factory wheels with aftermarket wheels having 4.5" of backspacing.

Looks great Bmore... Finally glad to see a JK with the RR Black alloys. I have an unlimited Rubi with a TF leveling kit and will be installing my Bushwacker flat flares next weekend. The goal is to run Toyo 34.1" tires on RR Black alloys once my OEM BFG's are toast. Do you have any other pics of your rig? Would love to see more with your wheels. I hear ya hammer002 on the WAVE I am seeing on the xenon's which makes me glad about getting the Bushwackers. I'll post when I get my flares on. But it will be a bit before I get my bigger tires.
