backspacing

  1. First post! Question and please check my wheel/tire math.

    Hey everyone! Recently upgraded my 2-door JK Sport to a bucket list-worthy black JLU Rubi. It came with the MOPAR 2in lift and is running on 17x12.5r17 BFG KO2's on the stock Rubi wheels (which I believe have a +44 backspacing). Surprisingly, there's only a little rub at full lock with that...
  2. Will these wheels work with my new build?

    Hello everyone first time post here! I have a 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon on order (ordered 5/5/21) which is my first time ever getting a brand new vehicle or a Rubicon. I have been reading these forums like crazy for information about the new JL's and lift kits, tires, wheels etc. I...
  3. What are your wheels with the MC GC 3.5" lift?

    Calling those with the MC 3.5" game changer. What wheels are you running? I am learning that the wheels I was drooling over have too much backspacing >4.5". It seems like I am going to have to commit to beadlocks. Are all of you running beadlocks? How is it for a Daily Driver? Any regrets?
  4. Can Lifting Your Jeep Correct Tire Rub?

I have recently put 35" (34.4x12.7) Mickey Thompson's with JK hard rock wheels on my JLU sport. Most say that this setup will not rub after taking off the front splash guards, but I do have...
  5. Positive Offset Wheels with Rubicon Axles

    There are a couple threads on this already but without clear answers. My JLR (2 door) has 315/70R17 KO2s on 17x8.5” XD Recon Wheels with +18mm offset (5.46” backspace, about 0.5” less than stock rubi). I went with a positive offset wheel so that the tires would not poke as much. They still...
  6. Wheel/Tire Combination on the JLU Sport S?

    We are looking to upgrade the wheels/tires on our JLU Sport S. Currently, we're using the stock combination (with the Goodyear A/Ts), but we're looking to go to Mud Terrains and 33's. Browsing this forum, it looks like Discount Tire Direct is among the best options for decently priced wheels and...
