Wheel size and backspacing question - 35" tires
Hi all,
I know I could find this if I searched enough, but I'm hoping for a quick answer
I'm running stock wheels with spacers for my 35s and I'm ready to buy some proper wheels that fit. My biggest point of concern is road safety with the spacers as I have a little one on the way.
For a 17" wheel, what width and backspacing do I need?

For reference sake I run 35x12.5x15's on 15x8" wheel. (JK's also have 5x5 bolt pattern)

As stated, 4.5" backspace is the forum rule. I went with 4.25" backspace on mine for no other reason than buying myself another quarter-inch of space. [17x8.5 with 4.25" backspace is what I will be running when my wheels arrive.]

I'd probably do 4.25" to 4.00" at a max. I bought some Spyderlocks and they are 17"x9" with 3.5" backspace. I think I have a cell phone pic showing how far out past the fenders they stick out. I'm running 35x12.50 Nitto Mud Grapplers.
