What backspace are you running on your 2's wheels, pics??

Exactly my point, I get backspacing-its a no brainer. Bring offset into that equation and it makes absolutely no sense.

You are correct though, a 0mm offset would put the mounting face at exactly the middle of the wheel. So a 9" wheel would indeed be a 4.5" backspace.

You mentioned yours sticking out about 2 inches so the method wheels I'm looking at with the 4.25 (which also says a -12 offset lol) backspace would come out a little farther and should be perfect with my offroad flares.

I'm going to call TireRack right now and see what they say about these measurements. If they are what their site says I'm going to order those wheels with the Kumho Road Venture MT's in 315.
