The main problem with to much backspacing is you will start rubbing the back of your fender wells when turning.  Remember, while you are moving the inside of the tire away from the frame you are pushing the outside edge of the tire further out at the same time.

You might want to turn your tires at full lock and see how much clearance you have to the back side of your wheel wells.

200 pages into the archives, and I have a question.

Is a four inch backspacing too much for a 4dr sidekick on 30x10s with a 3inch suspension lift?
