Just wanted to see if anyone had any expierence with running this tire size and had a suggestion on what backspacing I will need to use...The wheel will be a M/T 16x8 alloy and I would like to use a 305-70-16 (33x12) b/f a/t tire....thanks in advance..

 

Your best luck will be had in a 16x8 wheel with 4.25-4.5" backspacing.

 

Thanks for the quick reply...But isnt that about what the stock backspacing is?? If thats the case my new tire that is 1.5" wider than the stock would rub I would think???

 

Stock backspacing is 4.375", but with a 16x8 the rim is 1" wider than stock..so it's a perfect match.

 

Dang and last week I had some really nice wheels I could've bought for only 50 bucks, but the backspacing was 3.25" and rubbed the inner fender flare at full turn with 31" tires. That sucks.

 

Even with the new tires being 12" wide..???
