Default Back Spacing

I was wondering if i could see some of yalls jeeps with 4 and 3.75 inchs of back spacing right now i have a 3-3.5 lift and im looking for a wider mean lookin stance but also is safe because this is my DD and weekend mini mudder. Also could i do 33s with out trimming or are 32s my max even with after market wheels.

Thanks!

if you go with that backspacing you will want to trim your fenders to avoid hitting them while turning esp with 33s with 32s and 4.5 you might get away with it. i got 33s with 3.75 in the mail ill take pics when they come in.
this is a good place to start

Back Spacing-image-3525435172.jpg

3.75 back spacing. 4.5" rc lift. 33x12.5. Wranglers and it rubs real bad. I had to remove bumper covers just to drive it. And will be trimming and raise the flare. But it does have the mean look.

Ya that's not smart...... You can **** people around here real quick and get zero help.

Best advice? Search. Use google and search the questions you have first before just throwing down thread after thread. 99.9% chance that what ever your curious/confused/wanting, it's been done before and with plenty of pics. Now if you get confused on a small thing or don't understand a certain way, Then go right ahead and ask. We'll try our hardest to help.

Just a bit of advice

3'' lift 31x10.50 on 15x8's with 4'' back spacing. Had to trim front bumper caps as they would rub during steering. I have since removed the stocks flare and will trim when I get 33's. hopefully 33X10.50's will keep me under the radar with the fuzz as the local 5.0 can be a PITA about tire coverage.

But that requires physical work, this searching thing as you forumers call it.
