Pinch Weld and new 33x10.5 tsl's

Hello,

I ordered a set of 33x10.5 tsl radials yesterday and have a few question? I have a few sets of rims available to put them on, factory steel for 31", AR aluminums, and ar steelies, I looked a as many threads as possilbe but could not find pics of the pinch weld mod? Also a backspacing link that was posted states that the greater the backspacing the less your tire stick out, this seems to be contrary to what people are saying,(https://www.rsracing.com/tech-wheel.html#backspace). What wheels do you guys recomend for the tsl's and where is the pinch weld?

Thanks

The pinch weld mod is simply pounding the pinch weld flat. No pics needed. You use a BFH.

The pinch weld is behind the plastic insert at the rear of your front fender. Remove the insert, pound it flat, and replace the insert.

Use the factory rims, they will work fine. Backspacing on that page is properly defined/described. Just realize that the picture of the backspacing is with the rims upside down.
