Default 33's on 4.5-4.75 backspace??

Just located a set of wheels used and the owner things the backspace is 4.5 - 4.75.

Do you think I'll have a problems with this backspace? Will be installing 33's... Hope not to have rubbing issues. At this time it has a 3" lift but working on a 4.5 - 5" lift.

I've read posts and some have indicated 4.00 works best but located these used at a good price.

Thanks...

im running about 4.5 inches of backspacing on mine, with 33x11.5's. They rubbed my long arms pretty bad...i had to buy 1.5 inch spacers, and i still rub on full lock.

Checked out the wheels and they have 4.5" backspace. Will they rub a lot?

they will definitely rub your control arms probably also your fenders if they arent trimmed at that lift height
