1st Gen rim backspacing

Anyone know what the stock rim backspacing was in 85? I have 32x11.5 BFG AT's on Ultra 15x7's that a friend that owns a Frontier wants to trade for his Pathfinder wheels with 33x12.5 MTR's, not sure if I am going to have a clearance problem with the calipers or possibly the springs.

Thanks

About 3-3/8":



You can usually go up to about 3-3/4", maybe 4" backspace with a shorter tire, but you'll starting hitting the springs, steering arm and frame in short order.

That is good info to know considering I now own a 1st genner and new tires/rims are on the horizon next week.

Is there anything RB doesn't know?

THESE RIMS ARE ON THERE NOW, with some 31" MT/Rs on them. I won't be using them and will be selling them eventually.

I'm getting some 16" black steelies w/ 35" MT/Rs.
