Backspace with a 3.5" Metalcloak Gamechanger lift...

[RedChili]

Just wanting to see what type of wheel backspace you are running for those of you running a Metalcloak Game Changer lift? My current methods have a 4.6 backspace on -12 offset but I'm about at my limit when it comes to poke. It just seems hard to find wheels with a 4.5 backspace without a large(ish) negative offset, so I thought I'd try to get an idea of what others are successfully running without adding any spacers just to get some additional ideas.

I'm running the 2.5" true dual with -12 offset. No issues. I do believe the 2.5" and 3.5" have the same shock brackets so you should be good.

I would think that a 0 offset would be enough on Rubicon or Mojave up to 37/12.5 tires.​

You can run 0 offset on a rubicon. Method 703 17x8.5 if I remember right. No rubbing. Call them. Some of the best customer service around. They told me my rims would work.

Second the suggestion to call Metalcloak. They will tell you what will work or not.

I ended up with 4.25" backspace and about -18 offset. 37 x 12.5 x 17 tires. 17 x 9 wheels. I do have a bit of poke but I am ok with that.

Thank you all for the replies! Very much appreciate the information. As always, so much to think about but that’s part of the fun!
