i just ordered new black rock wheels from polyperformance and there being custom made

i've got a 93 standard yota pick up

wheels=6x5.5 +15X8 rim+4.75 backspacing

i would hate to get "custom" made wheels and have them not fit

Too deep IMO.

I prefer 2.5" BS myself.

I don't like any BS...







oh wait... we're talking about wheels aren't we... my bad...

got fender flares?

wow you guys are tards. the lower the number the more the wheels stick out, higher number equals tires tucked in more. presonaly i would have gone with 3" bs

flecker

3 would work.... the further out the better imo, just that much more stable.

The op never mentioned lift or size tire, so it's all a crap shoot for the armchair qb's trying to decide what size tire is right.

So now he only gets preference and OPINION.

And I hope you were talking to the other tards, and not this tard

85toy

mostly meant e roc cause he doesnt understand back spacing.

You said "guys" and "tards" both plural.

So which of us is "mostly"?

Interesting sig quote btw. Not sure if that is flattering or insulting considering.

He could go with a 3" backspacing but that would be alot of stress on wheel bearings.

4" is an appropriate mix. But 4.75 on custom made wheels ? That seems kind of ratarded.

That is the stock wheel backspacing, so if the stock wheels fit, so will those (assuming the truck is still IFS up front and does not have a bracket lift on it):

think of it like this: as you increase backspace, you move the centerline of the TIRE INward from the centerline of the HUB. lower BS moves the tire outward in relation to the hub. backspacing directly affects your TRACK measurement. it also affects how much mud you throw in your vent windows. ha!

high backspace = a flat faced, OEM looking wheel. low backspace = a "deep dish" wheel.

why would you be buying custom made wheels when you are not yet familiar with backspacing? usually custom BS is to address a vehicle specific tire installation challenge.

wheels come prefab in the usual BS. my 15x8s are 4" BS. they stick out just a little past the stock fender lip. 4.75" would have put the tire just inside the lip. remember that OEM is a 15x7 with 4.75" BS, so that would move the tire even more inside the lip, as OEM usually is.

this last piece should tip you off that BS is relative to wheel width. A 4.75" BS on a 7" rim makes a flat face, stock rim. A 4.75" BS on a 10" wheel (like for 12.5" tires) still puts more than 5" of the tire on the OUTWARD side of the centerline of the hub. so it is deep dish.
