im looking to get a new set of wheels but i cant see to find ones with the right backspacing also going to 265x75x16s for tires and all the wheels i have looked at have ether a 4.5'' or 4.85'' backspacing and the guy at the tire store said they will stick out more than a 1'' and i dont want that as it will look funny and may rub so he said a wheel with 5'' + backspacing will work better ?

 

how wide are the rims?

 

my bad 16x8 the stocks are 16x7 with 5'' backspacing

 

also should say im looking at some polished wheels as chrome rusts here

 

idk why but for some reason 5" backspacing seems like a lot because for me it would rub on the a arm and frame. But if you don't like the wheels sticking out that much you could look into bigger fenders.

 

the stock wheels are 16x7 with 4.375" backspacing.

 

yeah 5" seems way to much.

 

oh yeah you dont have fender flares so yea they will stick out past the fenders. but not much more then 16x7 4.375

 

hmm i just dont wanna get stuck with them if they dont fit heres the one i was looking at what ya think the back spacing is 4.87'' http://www.ultrawheel.com/wheel_deta...brand=1&id=111

 

well they have one that is 16x8 4.25" bs... your tires would stick out about 1/2" to 3/4" more than they do now.

 

16x8 with a 4.5 inch back spacing fits my 285's with out touching the upper control arm, and the tires only stick out a little, maybe an inch.

i can get pictures for you on friday.

 

you think 28s will fit ? http://www.mhtwheels.com/wheel.cfm?brand=3&cat=16

 

 

thanks for the help just going to scratch the 265x75s and just stick with the 265x70s

 

I think the 265/75 would look good. I have pretty much the exact wheels your looking at and the back spacing is 4.5. I'll get a few pics for you tomorrow to show how they look on the truck with 265/75's. The would stick out a i but I don't think they'll look too bad. Pics tmw

 

sounds good sooner the better

 

come on someone has to know if those rims will work ?

 

which ones now??? 16x8 is 1" wider than stock, so right off the bat that will stick out another 1" ...

I was under impression that stock wheels had a backspacing of between 4.75" and 4.875" so I would say ok to anythign with between a 4.25" and a 4.75" backspacing

 

and what tires are you going with also? cuz street tread 285's on stock wheels are ok, but M/T's for example wouldnt work the same

 

the wheels in post #8 im going with a set of toyo open country at's not to sure if i should go with 75s or stick with 70s
