It was a nominal 4"...give or take a fraction. You would not be able to run 10" wheels with any more backspace than what is on the wheels I've shown. All 10" wheels will be "deep dish". Yes,"all" wide tire/wheel combos (esp over 8" wheels) will put more stress on suspension parts
But is it neccesarily a bad thing? I'm referring to wheels wider than 8 inches. Is it someway I can have a wide wheel without it being so damaging? Is there a backspace to offset rule?
