Mine are 17X9 with 4.53 Backspacing and -12mm offset

Here's what I'm looking at with mine. Is this about what yours is looking like?

Here is a pic from directly over the back fender, looks to be about 1.5-2 inches

Nice! That would be perfect! That would be the max I'd want to go, so what's your wheel specs on this? 4.5" Backspacing with -12mm offset on a 17x9 rim?

Thanks!

Here's a better picture like the one you took.

Nice! I did a quick look on these and found they may be a 5.0 Backspacing which would bring them in a little bit.

Ya the pic you posted with just the rim looked a bit farther out then mine, but not by much. I love the Enduro wheels, I took off the center caps to make them look more rugged. They look like steel rock crawler wheels but are lighter and balance better. I also like that nobody else has them, at least I've never seen a set out here...

Damn this rig is gorgeous.

I cant wait till I save up some funds to go bigger and wider on the rims and tires.

Oh, cant forget a higher lift too..

This is 17x9 with 0 degree offset which maybe 5" setback with 285x75x17 BFG (34" tires).

Thanks! All good things take time. I started with just a lift and 33's, but it seems like every month I a a little more and a little more. Don't rush it, it's part of the fun to have something to research and cogitate over.
