Fender Flares/ backspacing!!!
I have a 2000 xj with a 4.5 RC, 32x11.50 tires, and d window steelies. And bushwacker flares. I need to know what kind of backspace I need on my wheels. Or any other suggestions to get my tires flush with my flares!

Don't know about the flares but you need 3 3/4 to 4" of BS for frame and steering/CA clearance. That should place the tires about right with the flares.

Ah. I see you're in Clarkesville. I'm on the other side of the state.
Yeah, some 3.75-4" backspaced wheels should get the tires out even with the flares. Or you could add spacers to the wheels you have now.
