Brand new to the Jeep world and never had to deal w backspacing and offset with previous vehicles so its all latin to me.

I have a JL sport and Im looking to get a Rock Krawler 2.5 Series 1 lift kit (link below), which calls for 4.5" of backspacing on 35" tires, which Im also looking to upgrade to

I am looking to get the 8.5'x17' Hardrock wheels below, which say they have 5.2" backspacing with +11.43 offset

Will these work together? If not, what modifications need to be made to make these work together?

Thanks in advance

I’m running Quadratec Recons with the same backspacing and 35’s without issue. You should be fine.

Here's a link to a website I find helpful for seeing what different offsets will look like, it also gives you a idea of how much more space you need to clear it full turn (same amount as to the fender, when you rotate a cylinder it's a sphere)
