PS,
I got threw that without a strap. It took several attempts to get the right
line, but I eventually made it, and only scratched the body armor.

Re: Wheel Backspacing -- Ok to have different spare?
Hey Bill, I have a backspacing question for you, it's on an 81 CJ7,3 1/2"
susp. lift and 1" body, narrow track, I have 33x12.5x15 BFG MTs, on 8x15
alluminum rims, nice rims.
Anyway I get a far bit of tire rub, on fiberglass tub as well as springs.
I was going to get new rims and sell these ones, but when I checked
backspacing on these it is already 3 1/2", so I may have a problem getting
less.
I know everyones thoughts on spacers, but here are my thoughts, jeep is
just a toy not my daily driver, 95% off road use, if I buy 1" spacers I can
use them for off road but take them off for any trips, if I can get rims
with less backspacing, I would not be able to remove for trips. Either one
will be harder on bearing, but at least the spacers I can take off. What are
your thoughts on my idea, I have to do something before I burn a hole
through my tub, and I know Mike would say I should of gone with the 9.5
tires, but I love my 12.5s.

Re: Wheel Backspacing -- Ok to have different spare?
Just like the National Hot Rod Association would never allow you on
a drag strip with spacers, I would never ride in a car with them.
So what if the tire rub a little, I radius the tub:
http://www.----------.com/46jeep.jpg for as much clearance as possible
with adding height that is so critical in side hill, and bowl running.
