How to figure backspacing needed

[chorky]

So. Looking at ideas for wheels. for a while I am sticking with the JTR 33’s. Will probably lift it with either MOPAR or AEV before getting larger tires. There is a very slight possibility I will ever go 37’s. More likely would be 35’s.

figuring what offset has always been a challenge for me for some reason. So how do you do it. Or better yet, could folks with a small lift and 35’s tell me what offset they have with ZERO rubbing? No rubbing is important for me because I need to be able to have full articulation WITH chains in the winter. Also, is the gladiator factory wheels based on lug centric or hub centric? Has anyone with lug centric wheels had problems?

just saw these today. They look mighty awesome IMO. Just not sure if the size and offset is correct to use

Proper wheel hub bore size (71.50) is important to me. 71.50

Nice rims! Are our glad's running a 5x5 lug pattern by chance?

EIDT: Found my answer 5x5.

5x5 or 5x127 (same same) but you want hub centric.

Yeah Ive never been a fan of lug centric. According to Icon they are 71.5 bore.
