I just installed Warn axleshafts and manual hubs on my TJ a few weeks ago and the new hubs position each of the wheels 3/4" further out from the wheel well. So I need wheels with 3/4" more backspacing.

I have 35" MT/R tires on steel TechOne 15x8 wheels with 4.5" of backspacing (and like that combination) but want to go to an aluminum wheel that can be beadlocked. There's a rumor that Alcoa has a 15x8 5x4.5" aluminum wheel with more than 5" of backspacing but I haven't found a source for them yet.

Yes I know Jeep OEM aluminum wheels have 5.25" to 5.5" of backspacing but I have no interest in them.

Anyone know of a decent aluminum wheel that'll fit my TJ with more than 5" of BS? Nothing fancy, they're just going to spend their life getting gouged up on the rocks. TIA! :D

I always check with Summit Racing when it comes to wheels. They've hooked me up twice with what I needed. They carry a variety of wheels with an even better variety of back spacings.


Jerry. I did a quick search at the Summit Web site and found Centerline Corona Wheels with 5 and 5.5" bs. Popular wheel though, it's Back ordered.

Call em up................No I don't work for Summit.
