AM  Backspacing question what backspacing is required to run
35's on 10' rims. I have a issue with my 35's getting into my
leafs with 15X8 and i want to upgrade to 15x10 and want to do
away with the rubbin.  aelwero 09-09-2011 10:10 AM  10 foot rims
:eek: I thought 24's were over the top...  but seriously,
backspacing measured in inches, like most jeep rims are, instead
of the + or - metric notation, isn't dependant on width. It's
just a straight measurement. Take the backspace you have now and
subtract an inch or two depending on how deep you are into your
leafs, keeping in mind that the farther you get from half the
rim width, the more leverage you put on your hubs, especially if
you go rock crawling or off camber. Someone might have a YJ
specific answer for you on here, but it's something you can
measure on your own pretty easily, especially if you got a spare
:)  YJ6262 09-10-2011 08
