Hey all, I'm really itching to buy new pro comp steelies and did some research. It seems the masses go with the 3.75" backspacing. At first I'll just be running 31x10.5r15 with a 15x8 wheel. These basic ones here:



but obviously they'd be 6x5.5 lug pattern.

So I went out to the truck to measure my current backspacing and discoverd my wheels arent even the same front to back. wtf? Front sticks out more by at least an inch.



You can see how much more it sticks out up front.

Well anyways, I was just seeing if anyone wanted to post pics of there setup. I want to see what a 15x8 rim with 31x10.5 looks like with 3.75" BS from the side so I can view how much it sticks out. Google image search failed me and I can't get a good enough visual with my tape measure.

I'm sittin on 33x12.50's on some 15x8 wagon style wheels. Gettin' read to go 2 inches higher lift and put some 35x12.50's on 15x12 rims. Going for a wider stance.

CBO - from the pics of your rig, you have the same wheels F/R, so all your backspacing should be the same. You do have a different bed on the rear of the truck, so that's likely why you're seeing a difference in tire exposure.

I'm not running 31s, but this will give you an idea. truck is 93 with 33x12.5 Toyo's on 15x8-3.75" alloys. I'm guessing you'll be maybe 3/4-1" closer to fender with a 31 on this size wheel.

clearance to upper control arm - JUST enough room with my 12.5 wide Toyo's, which are slightly wider than other brands due to sidewall lugs:

Since I'm here, I might as well contribute. 32x11.5" tires, 15x10" rims w/ 4" backspacing.
