I like them but 4.75" is too much backspacing if you plan to ever run a larger tire like a 33x12.50 or 35x12.50.

4.75" of backspacing would work with an 11.5" wide tire but no wider. Factory wheels have 5.25" to 5.5" of spacers. Let's say your factory wheels have 5.25" of BS, your 1.25" spacers would reduce that 5.25" backspacing to 4" of backspacing. Spacers reduce backspacing, they don't increase it.

Yeah I understand the spacer would bring it back to 5.00" , that's on my 10A wheels if they had 6.25" I googled what backspacing they should have so that seemed exstream . I don't know I like how mine rides & looks as is so I may stick with what I have.
I would bet substantial $$$ your wheels do not have anywhere near 6.25" of backspacing. Factory wheels have 5.25" to 5.5" of backspacing, aftermarket wheels usually always have less like 3.75 to 4.5".

A few guys measured the backspacing & it's 6" on a 2013 Rubicon & it's stamped 6" on the back , man that's a lot
Whoops sorry I just figured out you have a JK, not a TJ... since this is a TJ forum I thought that picture up on top showing a JK was of someone else's Jeep... now I see it's your Jeep. I have no idea what the backspacing is or should be on JK wheels. Carry on, pay no attention to me.

No Jerry that's a LJ I just have JK blinkers & JK Wheels , my wife has a JKUR4.75" of backspacing would work with an 11.5" wide tire but no wider. Factory wheels have 5.25" to 5.5" of spacers.

I got totally confused when you said you have 6.25" of backspacing and later thought well maybe you're right if it's a JK since I have no clue how much backspacing a JK's wheels have or need. That green 4-door Jeep in the photo you posted is a JK. So that's NOT your Jeep in the photo. At least that's cleared up and I'll just confirm that your TJ wheels don't/can't have 6.25" of backspacing.
The yellow tape measure in this photo is measuring the wheel's backspacing.... the distance from the wheel's mounting flange to the inner-most edge of the wheel.

Yeah I know how to measure, is that wheel a 2013 Rubicon wheel ? Your last post?
