Looking at these rims, anyone have the same backspacing on BFG ko2s 37s so I can get a visual reference at how these might look sticking out from the fender ? TIA.

I don’t know if you’ve already purchased your wheels, but I have fuel covert wheels with the same backspacing and offset. Here in Pennsylvania, those would not pass inspection with the factory, Rubicon fender flares. I had to purchase fender flare extensions, so that they were flush, with the Poke of the tire. Got them from double black off-road in Australia. That was the only source at the time. Now I believe you can purchase them through Mopar. I could send you pictures of what it looks like, but before you purchase, if you haven’t already, keep that in mind about the department of transportation specifications and such, in your state. If you still want the pictures, I can do that later today. Let me know.

Not quite the same, but mine are +0mm and 4.75" backspacing with 37 K02s on 8.5" rims. A bit more poke than I would like, I think +18mm or +25mm offset is the sweet spot.

I think you might mean +18 or +25. A -25 offset would be a huge poke.

also when talking about backspacing it’s important to mention the width of the rim a 8.5 wide rim with a 0 offset will have a different backspace than a 9 inch wide rim with a 0 offset

My bad, I definitely meant +18 or +25.
