Wheel Fitment Help
im looking to get a new set of wheels but i cant see to find ones with the right backspacing also going to 265x75x16s for tires and all the wheels i have looked at have ether a 4.5'' or 4.85'' backspacing and the guy at the tire store said they will stick out more than a 1'' and i dont want that as it will look funny and may rub so he said a wheel with 5'' + backspacing will work better ?

idk why but for some reason 5" backspacing seems like a lot because for me it would rub on the a arm and frame. But if you don't like the wheels sticking out that much you could look into bigger fenders.

16x8 with a 4.5 inch back spacing fits my 285's with out touching the upper control arm, and the tires only stick out a little, maybe an inch.
i can get pictures for you on friday.

I think the 265/75 would look good. I have pretty much the exact wheels your looking at and the back spacing is 4.5. I'll get a few pics for you tomorrow to show how they look on the truck with 265/75's. The would stick out a i but I don't think they'll look too bad. Pics tmw

which ones now??? 16x8 is 1" wider than stock, so right off the bat that will stick out another 1" ...
I was under impression that stock wheels had a backspacing of between 4.75" and 4.875" so I would say ok to anythign with between a 4.25" and a 4.75" backspacing
