Stock Sasquatch backspacing is 30mm/5.93" of backspacing (17x8.5" wheels)
I went with 17x8 19mm offset which calculates out to 5.25" of backspacing, meaning my wheels stick our about .5" more than stock.
All of the aftermarket billet upper control arms are stating "maximum" backspacing
Camburg = 5" https://camburg.com/shop/kinetik/up...d-bronco-21-kinetik-series-billet-upper-arms/
Baja Kits = 4.5"/4.75" https://www.bajakits.com/i-31570313-2021-ford-bronco-billet-upper-arm.html?ref=category:1459200

Am I missing something that these billet control arms are going to require +6 or less offset? (zero etc). I would have though since I have less positive offset than stock that I would have been able to use some of these billet arms? Is everyone using billet arms having to buy lower offset wheels?
Are the tubular A-arms more forgiving?
