[QUOTE="Chris, post: 424398, member: 1"] Because with 5.25" backspacing (the ideal backspacing) and a 12.5" wide tire, the wheels and tires are almost perfectly flush with the fender flares. With 4" backspacing, you just subtract that from 5.25", which means they'll stick out roughly 1.25" from the fender flares. Possibly a little more or less, but it's going to be very close to that. You'll notice a ton of aftermarket wheels specifically for the JK with 5.25" backspacing. There's a reason for that, because it really is the ideal number for the majority of us (unless you have some sort of insane setup such as 40s and 1-ton axles, etc.). [/QUOTE]
