What backspace are you running on your 2's wheels, pics??

[LoJac963]

I finally found 2 different sets of wheels locally that I really like.

One set is an 18x9 rim with a 4.5" backspace.

Second set are 17's with a 5" backspace, I'm assuming 8.5" wide.

I'm curious what backspace others are running and how it looks. I have the extended fender flares and want to bring the wheels outward a bit. The stock wheels look horrible with extended flares with the huge backspace we have.

Thanks in advance!

You can go with WIDER rim and tire to compensate for wide flares. I run 4.5" BS but due to flares and exocage my Rim is 12"wide.

Good point, reason I was leaving towards a 4.5" backspace is so the wheels are Rancho lift compatible if I decide to go that route one day. I don't want to buy new wheels down the road again if I want to throw a Rancho on it.

FABTECH and rancho needs 4.5 BS, ones I tried using OEM wheel on H2 and ruind it. Tier rod was rubbing on the rim.
