Proper backspacing can tell if your wheel is clean and rubbing against other components. According to the view of John Cappa that “most new 4x4s have factory wheels that are 6-8 inches wide, with backspacing measuring between 4-6 inches. Aftermarket 4×4 wheels are typically more than 8 inches wide and will often use a backspacing measurement that is 1 to 2 inches less than the factory backspacing. “You can choose less or more backspacing depending on the use scenario you need, and try not to make dangerous attempts at either extreme of backspacing.
