I found a deal on 38.5x11 Boggers to put on my 83 pickup. I was wondering if anyone knows what kind of backspacing/offset dimensions (or wheel spacers) I will need on the wheels so the tires dont hit the front leafs while turning. Thanks!

 

if you are in ALaska, you are gonna dig in the muskeg pretty good with those

if you go with 8" rims with the normal 3.75" b/s probably gonna want to 1.5" spacers up front..this is just based on trying it imagine my '81 with bigger tires..I am running similar rims/spacers with 35's and have ton of clearance.
if you can find some 2" B/S rims you should be good to go with no spacers IMO.

 

If theres a bottom I'll find it! I'm running 34x9.5 Swampers right now and it does surprisingly well. I think these light trucks can get away with the narrow tires. Plus theres a little less weight for the little 22r to spin. Thanks for the info I'll keep my eyes open for a set of wheels.

 

I have 38.5x11 boggers on my 87 not sure of the wheel dimensions though.I think they are 15x8 my tires scrub my leaf springs in the front when I turn hard left.And they dig like crazy.
