I don't know my backspacing on my wheels, they were on the Jeep when I bought it. I have 5.13 gears not installed yet cause I am waiting to buy lockers.
I hate to go cosmetic on the thread- but which wheels do you have? Like 'em. Planning on 2.5 or 3" Terraflex lift...debating on 33s or 35s. Finding wheels I like with the right offset/backspacing giving me a headache. I like to rely on others to do my dirty work. Thanks!
Just from what I've seen on this thread, you can go 35's and have no problems but it's all up to the operator also to make sure. I think I may go 35's and just get gussets for now with gears. I can do the sleeves later. I'm no an extreme off roader. Just some lite trails and someone else already said it but you'll probably be dissappointed not going with them when you see someone else with them. I had that problem with my last truck. I can't wait to get them on there.
Dont let the hoodoo voodoo about 35" tires killing a D30 scare you. If you dont rock crawl and ya dont saw the wheel back and forth in a mud pit, you wont break it.
I still can't decide either. It sucks I can't make up my mind. The hardest part for me is cost and usage. Falken rocky mountains are 164 in 33's and the 35's I want are 210. I don't have the know how or the want to install axel sleeve or guessets. So there the extra cost of install. I will take my jeep offroad. But I on now way will do anything crazy. The sensible me says go 33's it will fill all my needs and it's cheaper. The wild and crazy me is saying f@@k it go big and deal with the problems as they come. Ugh !!!!!
