I don't know the answer about the tires but I just wonder about the 4.25 BS, is that what they advertised or did you measure that?

They are advertised as 4.5" back spacing but the first run were tooled wrong and ended up with a 4.25 backspacing. The correct ones will be available this coming spring. I took these back to Year One today and got a refund. I told them I wanted to wait until the 4.5" backspaced ones come out.
