New wheels for Rubi tires
Is there a wheel with better backspacing that would work with the BFG Rubicon tires? I did a few searches on different vendor sites, but couldn't seem to find any 17 x 7.5 wheels that would give better spacing than the stock Jeep wheels.
I'd like something simple, probably steel, in black with about 4.5" of backspacing that might be able to take a slightly larger tire later on (33"+).
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Bill

If you out to BFG's website, find that tire, and look at the specs for it. You will find a 'recommended rim width range' of 6.5'-8.5".
Maybe a Cragar Soft 8?
17x8 with 4.5 BS
$75.95 each at Summit
