Wheel Backspacing Question.

[wrecking-crew]

im getting new wheels and new goodyear mtr 285/70r17 for my truck. im also getting a leveling kit. would this setup be fine or do i have to find a different rim? is that backspacing not going to work? i got the same looking rims that are stock on the pickups. the stocks are 265/70r17 on a 17x8 rim.

The wheel you show says 6.18 inch back spacing BUT -6mm offset. Those 2 numbers do not jive. A 9 inch wide wheel with a -6mm offset would have more like a 4.75 inch backspacing. (which would probably rub like a bitch when turning.

 

You might wanna call them and check into it. DO Be specific. 4Wheel parts will SELL you anything... regardless of whether is works or not.

If you want to run 285 or wider you need close to stock b/s, not that 4.5". . . unless you go with a smaller diameter tire.

what is the stock b/s. i also dont really want to use my stockers(i will if i have to). personally i want black rims to match the tan w/ black accents
