about the 4.75” back space? Is that for wide track axles or the narrow axles. There’s a 1.5” difference

That 4.75" back space is on the wide track axle, and while we haven't gotten a chance to record exact numbers on the narrow axles we'd have to assume that it would be a little less, closer to 4.25" possibly. Hope that helps.

From the rims perspective, the narrow axles should need a smaller number like 4.25”

That sound backwards. A wider axle, with suspension components in the same location under the Jeep, should allow more backspacing than a narrow axle.
