What is backspace ?
Wheels (rims) with different backspacing are used to make sure that the wheels are always flush with the outline of the M-Class body no matter what tire sizes or possible fender flares are used.
Less backspace means that the tire/wheel combo sticks out further.
More backspace means that the tire/wheel combo stays in more.
