Re: Rims question
I had actually bookmarked that link when you supplied it before and thought
it was deleted. I found it earlier. Any problem using 3.25" backspacing?
Will the wheel stick out too far and wear out my bearings too fast? I plan
on putting 32" or 33" tires, depending on if this set of used 33s comes
through. :-)

Re: Rims question
Hi Eric,
I go out even further with ten inch rims, but then I have Real Jeep
floating bearings. You may convert to the Warn hubs for strength:

Re: Rims question
3.25" is too offset. Get closer to 4".
