Thanks. Yea I was aware of the backspacing issue and the poke issue, and I’m fine with this wheel in both senses.This is indeed another factor to look at, but most aftermarket wheels including these are usually made with a relatively large center bore so they fit a wide variety of vehicles. The hub diameter on the Broncos are 93.1mm. As long as the wheels you are putting on have a center bore this size or larger, you're fine. I personally run hub centering rings on my Jeep with my wheels, that make up the gap between the vehicles hub bore diameter and wheel center bore. This is mostly so that the lug's are lined up perfectly within the holes so the lug doesn't need to "pull" the wheel center.
Hub-centric spacers are a different thing entirely. As the name implies, they're a spacer that attaches between the rotor hub surface, and the wheel to "space" the wheel further out. The hub centric part meaning the weight of this spacer, and the attached wheel/tire, are distributed through the hub as opposed to just the studs like in a regular spacer. This is significantly stronger, and the preferred design for a spacer. The only reason you would need a spacer is if the wheel you're running has too much backspace, which would tuck it further into the body of the vehicle. In combination with a wider/taller tire, this could cause interference issues. Based on the fact you mentioned you're aware of the "poke", I'm assuming you've already considered this factor
Thanks for clarifying.
