Max backspacing for my bronco??

[orygunbou71]

Hi there i am looking at a set of wheels for my bronco that are 17x8.5 with 4.63 inches of backspacing. I have Toms heavy duty heim steering and a dana 44 with disc brakes up front. i have a 3.5 in long travel lift and duff extended radius arms. i want to run a 35x12.5r17 tire. will these rims work? Do i need spacers??

You'll probably clear the steering just fine since they're 17" wheels. I'm currently running 4.5" backspacing on my 17s and I think it's just a little too much for my tastes. I'm getting ready to try a wheel with 3.75" backspacing to see how it looks/works.

I'm running 17" wheels, 8" wide and had them made w/ 3 1/2" back spacing. This is a 77' disk brake Dana 44 front end w/ the tie-rods moved to the top of the knuckles, plenty of clearance.


Here's a pretty good pic of the stance running 3 1/2" BS
