Backspacing question. 7.5" lift on '01 TJ with 37's.
#1
Ok, It's time to look at getting some new tires and wheels. The 33's and 15" wheels that I have had since the jeep was new (The tires were changed out for the same size 7 years ago.) are just about worn out. I'm thinking about 37's with an 18" wheel. I just dont want to have the thing looking like its 9 feet wide... What backspace? what wheel width?
Thanks!


Jason.

What I am getting from other sites is this: 18x9 with 3.75" backspace..... Sound about right? Just want to be sure there are no clearance issues!
