Rubion Wheels Spec Question

[Bennett]

Anybody know what the backspacing is on the Jeep Moab Rubicon wheels? I know they are 16x8. Reason being I was looking at some other wheels that are 16x8 and they have a 4.5 backspace and I know people with the rubicon wheels just a slight rub.

Rubi rims, from what I read, have a 5" backspace, VS. 5.5" for our stock 16x7 rims.

I have the rubicon wheel's and MT's and they rub quite loudly when in full turn(seems worse after alignment last week). Louder in reverse due to tread.

You have to hammer the pinch weld flat and heat up and push, the front of the wheel well just below the fog light door, foward.
