    I just bought new rims and tires and I am not familiar with offset and backspacing but I know that I have to do some modifications because the tires and rims are an “aggressive fitment” (that’s what the boxes and websites say). I should’ve done my research before I spent my money but here I am asking for help so I know what to do to my Jeep

    I have a 2016 Jeep Wrangler unlimited sport With 17” tires

    I bought 305/55R20 tires with 20x9 Rims and +18mm offset with 5.787” backspacing. What changes do I need to do to my Jeep in terms of lifting, backspacing or suspensions.

    Welcome to the site! You should be able to fit those with a 2" lift.

    2” spring spacers should be fine. What do you think?? Chris

    Welcome @ACG16Sport ...be sure to post some before and after pics. If you have any tire rub just add some quality wheel spacers.

    Im not all that much of a fan of spacers. I was really happy with the OME 2" lift on my JK.
