Backspacing/offset

[Concrete]

Hello, I’m trying to pick out wheels and tires. I’m thinking 17x9 -12 offset. 33x12.5. I’m running 3.5” lift with 1” body lift. this is my grocery getter. Not a trail rig. Just curious if this will work. Thanks

The short answer - Probably?

17” Wheel Thread

Just as the title says, post up pics of your 17” wheels. If you know their manufacturer and specs please include them. I’ll start it off BTR beadlock’s, which are no longer available, if they were I’d own more of them. 8” wide 4-1/4” back spacing. The bolt pattern is 8x6.5

With a 9" wide wheel, that should be ideal, but you need to know what is ideal for you.

I posted this thread a while back and compared the 8.5 vs 9" wheel and discussed offset vs backspacing which I think is often not understood.

Method Wheels, 35" Tires, 8.5" vs 9" Wheels

Ok, Ok, I get it, this has been discussed extensively.... But I don't entirely agree that Backspacing is all that matters and I'm pretty sure I have a good grasp of the fundamentals but I'd love some more input before I decide which way to go for sure on both rims as well as tires. Maybe...

Forgot to say, I went with 9" wheels with -12 backspacing as they were ideal for me.

I only have one pic on my build thread as I'm still building...wheels not on for good yet:

We’ll, I suppose some good news is that you can have your own swap meet when you’re done and meet a lot more local and semi-local Bronco folks to take all those nice parts off your hands. And barbecue with afterwards!!
