What is the back spacing on these wagon wheels? At 305, I imagine you will be fine.

Best I can tell, it's gonna be about like a 32x12.50 so as long as the backspacing is right then it should be fine....I'm guessing backspacing should be around 4" or so, sound about right?

Talking



See...I knew it...i knew I was gonna get hit hard by u guys! GO EASY on ME!

Well I DO LIVE IN DETROIT!

22" just for 3 months! GEEEZ!


Anyways, I think the bolt pattern for my 22's are 5x5/5x127 and back spacing for them are +35mm or +15mm

I promise to have some pics in a week(assuming I get the right help!)


Thanks!

Please just burn it, do you actually think anyone here on a Jeep forum would know the answer to running 22's , you'll be the first, well maybe P diddy might know but I think he only rolls on 20's
