ok guys, yes ive searched, and tired of reading, lol heres the deal.
i got the firestone des. m/t 285/75/16, stock wheels, 2.5 lift.. they are going to rub when wheeling, so my question is
1) whats the backspacing on the stock 5spoke wheel ?
2) what backspacing should i get/look for, if i get new wheels ??

thankx

 

whats the backspacing on the stock 5spoke wheel ?
16x7
what backspacing should i get/look for, if i get new wheels ??
16x8

 

 

so if i got 16x8 that will have enough backspacing to clear the 285`s
?

IF i did get new wheels, what would be a good fair price for the wheels i have now ?

 

The numbers you posted are not the backspacing. Those are the size of the wheels themselves. The 16x7 OEM 3rd Gen 4Runner wheels have a ~4.3" backspacing. You can find many 16x8 aftermarket wheels that have varying backspacings. I plan on eventually running some FZJ-80 Landcruiser wheels that have 4.5" backspacing (if I can ever find them).

Crux,

You can easily measure what backspacing you have, if in doubt:
