Will 3.32 backspacing be too much?

[OctaviousMonk]

I have a set of 15x8 eagle alloys rims that I want to put 33x12.5 tires on. Problem is they have a -30mm offset which I have calculated to be 3.32 inches of backspacing. Will these make my wheel track too wide, or cause any other issues? The jeep is a 2004 Rubicon with 4.25” of total lift. The steel rims on it are rusted beyond repair and I was hoping for an easy way to reuse the tires as they have almost no wear on them.
Thanks

The scrub radius will be worse than with a wheel with more backspacing.

That wheel doesn't need less backspacing, it needs more. 3.75 to 4" is optimal for 33x12.50 tires.

More BS then? If his figurings are correct, we started at 3.32".

Give me a break I've had an over 100-101 degree temperature and an even fuzzier brain since Sunday.

What type of issues would this cause ?

Hard steering and unwanted feedback from the road.

That's a requirement of this forum I believe.

Not for me.

What backspacing are these and what size tires?

What backspacing are these and what size tires?

Backspacing is 4", but they're 10" wide wheels with 35x12.50" tires.

Seaching old posts so I don't recrate the wheel. My tires are the same as yours but with 17x9" rims. My rim backspacing is 4.5" and it rubs on lower control arms and can not go full lock, I need 2 3/4 full lanes to do a U-turn. Can you turn full lock? I am tying to determine which width of wheel spaces to buy.

Yes I can. The most common size wheel spacers are 1.25". I use the ones from Titanwheelaccessories on Ebay.

I’ve used titan wheel spacers before and never had an issue with them
