Check out my thread from a month or so ago. I ended up going w different direction cause I feel the 15" Trackers just stick out too far with that 3.32" backspacing.

thanks for the pics. I think it looks great. Thats the setup I'm looking at too: MTR/K 35's on 15". I am leaning towards a rock Krawler 2.5 max travel lift on a JKU. Do I need to worry about rubbing on the fender flares with 3.32 back space?? really like the look though!!

The fender clearance won't be an issue.

The only issue you need to worry about is finding the tires! As of right now the 35x12.50-15 MTR w/Kevlar is on back order with NO ETA.

Can you guys please post the correct wheel sizing (backspace/offset) available for this wheel? I ordered and received my 18x9 Trackers with 5" backspace and 0mm offset because I was told over the phone that they only actually come in that spec for the 18x9's. When I got my rims in, I measure them just to check. I think this is the right way to measure backspace, but not 100% sure though. It reads 5".....



Thanks!

The 18x9 Level 8 Tracker in the JK 5-5 bolt pattern has 0 offset which equals 5 inches of backspace

You are measuring for backspace correctly in that photo.

Just in case anyone here is concerned with how the 5" backspacing will work, I snapped a few pics... I did not need spacers either, not even close.


Kinda hard to see, but there is lots of room at the rear links...

Here is the front at full lock. I had my GF holding the wheel as far as it would go. You can see where my previous tire/rim set-up rubbed the lower control arm. Doesn't do it anymore... My previous rims were actually 5.7" backspace and they only rubbed a little on full turn...


At full turn, not touching the control arm, not even close...

About 1.5" of tire sticking out of the fenders on both sides with the 5" backspace...



Very happy customer. I thought 5" backspace would be a tight fit, (everyone always seems recommends 4.5") but the 5" is perfect IMO.

I'm ready to purchase the polished 17x8.5 -6 offset for my '08 Rubicon with 35" MTR/K's.

That should be a good fit - yes?

What is the availability? I'm leaving the area I'm in now - 92211 in a couple of weeks.

Thanks
