Default ATX Slabs (Backspacing ??)

Hey all,
I'm going to order a set of ATX slabs for my JKU and wrap them in a set of 35" Nitto's but can't find anything on what back spacing to run. I would ideally love to keep the stock flares so would like to keep them as close to sitting under the flares as possible.
If anyone could help out with what back spacing is going to work your input would be appreciated. If anyone has any pics of how far they will hang out that would be awesome too!
Cheers

What size are you going for ? according to their web site they only do 20" for a JK
Offset is massive too at -48. A stock wheel offset is +45. Apart from be way over the allowable track increase of 25mm each side they will stick out way past the guards
Let me know if they come in other sizes..

I'm running ATX Chamber 2 Pro's on my JK which are a 17 x 9 with a 4.06 BS.

The ATX Slab is available in 15's, 17's and 20's. Refer to the below website. The 17's are 3.50 Inch BS and the 20's are 3.31 BS.

In my opinion the Chamber 2 Pro's are a much better option for a JK.

Here's some pics from last weekend. They hang out past my DBOR flares a fair bit...






Greg from G&S Tyres in Melbourne carry's ATX beadlocks if your interested...

Yeah there are plenty of jk's getting around in the USA running the ATX slab's and Chamber's in a 17. All the Offroad Evolution JK's run ATX beadlocks... There's plenty of pics and vids floating around if you are interested in how they look.

Hollywood, the 17's in the slabs only seem to come in 3.5in backspace, wrapping them in the 35's will have the outer edge of the tyre 4.6in / 118mm further than the stockers. Stock flares? not a chance!!

The other thing to consider is the additional loads this will put on other components, especially front bearings/hubs, ball joints, steering components and diffs over all.

This site - http://www.rimsntires.com/specspro.jsp - is excellent for doing this sort of comparison too.
