i have a 95 xj lifted 4.5 inches. i have ordered 32x11.5 inch tires and im wondering what backspace size i should order so they do not rub.

4 inchs is good, my friend runs a 4.5 lift with 32's with 4 inch BS

i am running 5 in the front 3 in the rear with 16x7's with 4.5" of backspacing it barely rubs on the LCA's at full lock

Jeepjunky

the rule for lifting is for every inch of lift, u need 1 inch of backspacing. 4.5" lift= 4.5" backspacing

cdawall

depends on rim width as well 4.5" on a 7" is way different than 4.5" on 8" rims

so somewhere around 4 inches would be good?

4.5 in bs is hands down the perfect amount if you want to keep stock fenders.

okay thanks guys

I have the same set up and I'm happy with 4 inches of backspace.

So what happens when you install a 6.5 inch lift and try running 33x13.50r15s with a 15x10 wheel with 6.5 inches of back spacing?
Don't think it would work 8.78 inches inboard from the WMS would rube bad.

I did 4" BS, and I just barely rub the stock LCAs on full lock, I can not hear it, BUT I can see the LCAs are missing some paint...
