Another backspacing inquiry

[Skydyvrdana]

Hi guys, I know this gets asked over & over, but I need spacing help. I'm trying out some Toyo Open Country 33×12.5 on my stock 18" rims. How big do my spacers need to be without being excessive. I have 1& 1/2" lift (bought it that way) on my '16 Sahara. I do some light off roading & mudding, nothing crazy.
I know I need hub-centric spacers, but don't know the sizing needed...

A 33" tire is just the next size bigger so you should only need the thinnest set you can get which I think is 1 1/4.

But I'm going up to 12.5" wide> that is where I thought the issue will be...

How wide is your tire on there now?

Now I have the stock 255/70/18 so its like 9-10" wide

So if your new tire is 12.5 wide and the old one is say 10 wide it's only going to stick out on the back side about 1.250 to 1.5". Half of the width is going to be on the front side of the wheel.

If you want to be safe get the 1.5 spacers.

Ok, thank you!

When your wheel is turned all the way how much clearance do you have now?

Front & back

1.5 will give you plenty of room.

Ok I'll try those. Same for the rears also I assume?

The fronts are where you have the most issues because of the tires rubbing the control arms or the air dam. But for it to look right you put them on the front and rear.
