Question about Wheel Backspacing
Hello everyone!!
I have a 1997 4Runner 2WD V6 with factory 16" alloy wheels. I understand that the BS on the factory wheels is about 4". I will be installing after market wheels, Blackrock 942 Type D steel wheels 15X8 with 3.75" of BS. How is having a BS of 3.75" will affect on how the wheels fit my truck? I will be installing 33x12.5x15 tires. My truck has a Toytech 3" lift. Thanks!

Will increase the track width and perhaps increase the likelyhood of tire rubbing:

On a side note, if you decide to go with the 33X12.5's be prepared to have a lot more mud, water, road grime, and other debris on your truck pretty much all the time...The 33X12.5's are slightly wider than the body so they sling a lot more crap onto the body than the stock tires and the stock mudflaps don't provide much help either.
