i noticed after ordering my kit that the backspacing was 3.75 i got a set of 5 17" moabs for 150 bucks last week and i was wondering with the wheel adapter would i be able to run these wheels? im pretty set on the moabs wat can i do to run them? or would i have to get wheels with the correct backspacking?

I dont know a lot about backspacing, but if it dosent work out you could just get some wheel spacers

well the adapters are 1.375 spacer too

17" Moabs have 6", minus the 1.25" of the adapters gives you 4.75" of backspacing. You'll just have to turn less like I do unless you want to hear rubbing on control arms.

You can get spacer adapters. If you are talking about your lift kit saying you need 3.75" backspacing, that's not required, that's just recommended. You could run stock backspacing or even 1" backspacing (not recommended at all) but the adapter would push your wheel out a good amount to give it a good stance.

First it's what...
Second they don't make adapters thick enough so if your set on form over function your going to rub.

It's the reason I got rid of my rubi wheels.

I got 2in spacers for mine... Can also be adapter if ordered with a diff bolt pattern... $120 shipped on ebay... I think u would be fine with them... Maybe run a skinnier tire... 33 11.50...

Or stack adapters?

Kidding...

well i was going to be runnin 255/75r/17s on my cherokee.i calculated it and that a 32x10 tire. i didnt think they made 2" wheel adapter just search it on ebay? or do u have a link? how much is stock backspacing?

odgreen

1.5 is as thick as I could find for adapters.
Spacers go 2 inch but not adapters

Technically spacers are a 1/4 max I think... Adapters with the same in and out pattern are 2in... I would u could get them still two in thick with a different pattern...

odgreen

Ummm...... What? Lol

I've got the same question as OP. I found a new set of JK rubi wheels with the stock 255/75/r17's on them so this thread is going to help he out a lot.

Spacers are the little 1/8 or 1/4 rings that slide over your factory lugs and ghen bolt the wheel on after... Like $20 a set... Autozone can get them but we used them on my buddies 2010 tacoma after level and 33's just barely rubbed the a arms when turning... $20 In 1/4 spacers at summit was all good

i found a site that would make me some 2" adapters but it would cost me roughly 400 bucks..ive seen many cherokees with the 17 inch wheels but i guess they had massive rubbin problems. does anyone know wat the stock backspacing is?

been doing some more research and a guy on jeep forum was running 245/70/17 on his jk wheels. can anyone who is running the jk wheels tell me how big of a tire can i put on the wheels to prevent rubbing?
