Based on AEV confirming the +25mm offset, he's currently running 5.75" backspace.
Test fitting is a good idea to be sure you'll clear.

The current backspacing is 5.7". While it was on the lift, I slid the wheel out about 3/4" (almost to the end of the studs) and it cleared easily at full droop.
I will see if Discount Tire has a wheel we can throw on it before I order a new set though--just to make sure.

They followed through. I got a check for a full reimbursement on 5 rims!
Even though they blamed it on bad knuckes from Superlift, they stood behind their product.

That's awesome!
They're definitely on the top of my list just due to that costumer service now.
I ordered some Pro Comp 17x8" 0-offset steel rims (4.5" backspace). I'm tired of ripping up nice alloy rims on rocks.
I do give AEV credit for their customer service. It's very nice to encounter that kind of company.

This setup will allow to run without spacers with your oversize tires right?

^^yup. That's like having 1.5" spacers on stock wheels.
Thats what I thought & I like the steel wheel idea as well. I have 3 bent stock rims & need to replace & thinking steel will hold up better to what I do.
