warf90 Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 I am thinking about buying new wheels when I upgrade from my 33" to 35" tires. I am going with an 8" rim. What back spacing should I go with?
CWLONGSHOT Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 A 12.5 inch wide TIRE is hard to fit under the fenders with any reg BS'd rim. This is why many guys go with 10.5 wide tire and a rim with 4" of BS. While 4.5" BS even fits better, but is not avalible as a std size in BS. CW
warf90 Posted May 27, 2007 Author Posted May 27, 2007 I am going to get 35X12.50. I have never really liked the look of the 10.50 tires. I want to try and find a set of plain steel wheels like this one. I am sure that I would have to order it with the size I want.
CWLONGSHOT Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 To each his own...thats what makes the world go round. Good luck with it!! CW
DirtyComanche Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 If ya got 7" of lift, most would go with about a 3-3.5 BS. Personally I'd go 2". You'll be doing some trimming.
johngus Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 I've got 35 x 12.50 with a 4.75 backspacing. They rub the LCA's a little at full lock, but I am able to run stock flares. Also my rims are 15 X 8's.
tjbliley Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Check on Summit for the rims. You can pick the width, diameter, BS and offset, as well as bolt pattern. They are not too much $$$ either.
