Re: wheel backspacing

I run 4" backspacing with a 325/50/15. The wheel isn't as far in as it could go, and I'm not sure if this would work with the truck slammed.

Re: wheel backspacing

5" back spacing would work well & keep the tires off the inner/outer sheetmetal.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
