Btw, anyone thinking they like the mb72 in the 17" flavor, don't hesitate. The classic look is great on a Jeep.

I just last weekend put on my new wheels and tires I got from these guys. I went with 16" mb72's and 315/75/16 duratracs. They are absolutely amazing. I love the ride and look

Very nice. I notice you have your soft top attached, but your door surrounds off. Why not take top off too?

Living in Boston without a garage, the weather changes to often and I have no where to put it, the uppers and surrounds are all in the back of the jeep

What is the backspacing on the 17" MB72? Would I need to run my Spidertrax spacers in conjunction with them?

Nah, they handle 12.50s nicely. No rubbing. I want to say they are 4.5" bs at most, maybe 4.25". Just can't remember.

The 17x8.5 ET-6 MB72 has 4.5" of backspace. No spacers required
