Noob!!Hello and help me find some wheels

Hi everybody,I need help with choosing wheels for my 92 Yoda.Right now it has the stockers with 235-75-15's on it and I would like to get a black offset type wheel for it.I like the wagon type wheels too,but what do you think about these in a 15x8?

I would like to run 31 10.5's but these tires are almost new so I'm sticking with them for a while.I'm really looking for help with backspacing aswell. Any opinions or suggestions would be great.Thanks!

if your wanting the tires to stick out past the fenders..then get the rims with 3.75 backspacing..or less than that (i.e 3.5...2in backspacing..the smaller the number..the farther the rims will stick out)..if you want to kinda keep the stock look..then go with 4in or more...i think stock is 4.75..so yeah...that should help some...and if not...then i just gave you a bump back to the top..so maybe somebody with more experience will chime in!..good luck..and nice rig by the way

Those look like the Unique 297's. I like those rims except they would look better with all black center caps.

Nothing a spray gun can't take care of.





Anybody else got any pics or ideas to add?

Stock b/s is about 4-3/4" (measure yourself to confirm):


So stock close to stock backspacing for the best fit.

so if I went with a 3.75 backspace with a 15x8 wheel (1"wider than stock) it would be safe to say that it would put my tires 2 inches further out?

Yes, compared to a stock 15x7 wheel:
