From a stock wheel to a wheel with a backspace 4.25" will push the wheel out 1 1/4" farther.

Our suspension is designed to handle a certain load. Running lower offset wheels add stress on wheel bearings and certain suspension parts and so on. I know there will be disagreement on this, but it's something that I believe.
