What backspace for 285/75 16 tire
First off let me introduce myself, My name is Chris and I just bought a 2013 JKU Sport, 6 speed with 3.73. I had a 2002 Tj several years ago. It feels good to me back in the Jeep world.
I am looking to put on a leveling kit and run a 285/75 16 tire. I am looking at the Mickey Thompson Classic II in a 16X8 or something similar. Problem is I have searched until I am blue in the face about the proper backspacing, and I still don’t know what I need. I know I don’t want the tire sticking out too much past the fender. And the only 16X8 MT wheel I can find has 4 inch back space. Is that too much for that tire?
Thanks in advance for the help.
