What back spacing will work?
I looked at some rims today. I will eventually run 33" tires.
1. Would you go 15" or 16" rim? 2. I looked at 16x8 w/4.5" backspacing and 16x10 w/around 4.75" backspacing. Is that too much backspacing? I don't want it to rub on the inside, but would not want too much sticking out the fenders. Any help will be appreciated. |

just curious jim why would you say to go with the 15 " wouldnt that mean you have to grind down the calipers? if doing from fresh start why not just go to 16" and skip that step? just curious

I was assuming 1/2 ton. On a 3/4 ton I'd say 16.5" but that's for the load rating.
