I'm finally dropping in a reman 22re in my 89 runner. The 31's on it are about shot, dry rotted and way outa round, need a new set bad. I'm not crazy about the old Sawblade aluminum rims (always hated directional wheels) either so im thinking of buying a new set.

I like the way the truck sits as far as stance wise, so id like to keep that the same. Its running 31's on there but has enough room to clear 33's but i dont want to kill my motor and dont plan to re-gear so i'll probably put on another set of 31x10.5 or a set of 32x11.50. This is a DD not a trail rig, though it will see very mild offroading during hunting season.

How do i determine the backspacing i want. The tires currently are out from under the fenders maybe 11/2" or so.

Also what width wheel to run on either of those sizes, i know if i go with the 11.50's i'm going to need a 15x10 wheel. Should i still go with the 15x10 if i stick with the 31x10.50?

 

you can put 11.50s or 10.50s on an 8" rim

you can find a ton of info about this subject too...give the search a try

 

ok cool thanks man, now for the backspacing? How does one go about figuring out that? Can i measure the wheel thats on there somehow to try and end up with the same look.

Anybody running wheels from Rebel Racing? Looking at some standard ol polished aluminum bulletholes.

 

i searched for backspacing here on the site didnt turn up anything, i wasnt signed in at the time though, i'll give it another shot
