So 4in is better? I'm Lost to how the back spacing works

yup the smaller the number the more the tire will stick out. so the 4 inch backspacing will stick out more than the 5.5 or whatever the stock bs is

Tracking. I'm just trying to do the easiest thing. I got a friend selling me sets of spacers up to 2in for 130 idk if there is certain spacers that aren't good or something

Keep in mind I'm running flats and they stick out A LOT further than normal flares.

Very sharp looking jeep. This is a pretty tough decision

What wheels are you running?

Also I know on my Canyon stock wheels it's not recommended that you go bigger than a 10.50 width tire, I have 1.25" spacers all round which cost me about $110 off ebay and they've been great so far since July. If I were you I'd just get a set of new rims

Just find them on Summitracing.com. Price around after that if you want but I think their prices for steelies are pretty fair, minus the shipping and handling fees I've heard they throw at you later. Call and order rather than internet shop. May be able to get a cheaper shipping rate if you talk to them about it.

http://www.summitracing.com/checkout/interim.aspx type in your zipcode and see what it costs to ship to you. it was $191.25 estamated to me. those are 15x8 with 3.75 backspacing

I bought wider wheels, not much price to spacers anyhow.
Price you see obviously dearer than the states.
Scroll down,

the paint on soft 8s is very durable. i have silver soft 8s on it now till i put my 33's and new rims on. they still look great. i've had them for about a year.

5.25-5.5 bs is stock iirc.
the lower the number the more the rim sticks out. as said above.

so for you.. imo...if your goin with 32-33's i would do a 15x10 rim with 3.75" of bs. alot guys run that on a 15x8 rim. and thats fine. they do it for wheeling purposes. it will work. and its better for that purpose. so if thats you then i would run a 15x8 3.75.

where i live if you get caught on state property wheelin its a hefty fine.
hence the reasoning why i got the rims i got. the rims i got have a really nice deep dish look to them and i dig that. so ill be a mall crawler...lol

these are 15x8 with 4" bs
