3.25" Back Space

Wildbill · 04-22-2002, 09:43 PM

I'm looking to buy Eagle 589s for my otherwise stock '92 YJ and mount 31X10.50 Grabber M/Ts. The wheels are going to be 15 X 8 with 3.25" backspace. Will this be enough to not cause problems? I know that I will have to have about a 3" lift but that problem I can solve myself. Let me know ASAP guys (and gals) the sale on them is only this week and ends 26th.

Come on guys don't let a fellow jeeper down! I desperately need an answer quick on this back spacing issue.
I really want to get these wheels and I can get free shipping if ordered by Fri. Lets hear from some of you. Osburn are you reading this.....

Not a YJ guy, but that should work out. 3" should be plenty of lift for the 31's. The only thing about the backspacing is that they're gonna stick way the hell out. Might wanna check your local regs to make sure it's ok. Otherwise you'll need to pick up a set of extended flares to cover them up(except in Pa, because they're a no-no too

). Here's a pic of my TJ with 31x10.50's and 15x8's with 3.75" of backspacing just to give ya an idea...

Hey thanks 'drack
I thought it would be ok couldn't remember which way the spacing went. (in or out)Thanks for the pic looks great I like a wider stance on 4X4 and with only a 1/2 inch difference in spacing probably won't be that noticeable. As far as laws here in FL I believe I'll be OK with them sticking out, I think I'm allowed to up to 4 or 6 inches.

Thanks again,
