trying to figure out what backspacing i'm going to need for my new wheels. i want the hub to be protected and be up inside the wheel instead of sticking out past it. picking up my krawlers on sunday, so i'm hoping to get my wheels ordered this week.

i'm wanting to run a 17x8 or 17x9 wheel, most likely the 17x8, as i'm doing weld on beadlocks. i've got 5.25'' from the wheel mounting surface to the tip of the hub. how do i figure this out? i've never tried to before, always just ran 4.5'' backspaced wheels. i want this as narrow as possible though, so i'm actually going to properly figure it for once.

thanks,
greg
