Entropy98 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I am planning on getting some black steel wheels like the ones that I have now. The reason for the switch is that I am getting new tires and the tires I want only fit the 16" rim. 1. What are some good sites that I can get some cheap wheels from? 2. What is the closest backspacing that I can do that will barley clear the strut with 32" wheels. 3. Any one around NC that would like to buy the wheel/tires that I have on my truck now? Goodyear MT/R 32x11.50R15 with about 40% tread. The wheels that I have now stick out a bit more than I would like. I think that they are 4.25" BS.

Entropy98 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) So I think this might be the one. Can anyone difinatively tell me if this rim will work with 32" tires and still clear the strut. This should suck the tire in a bit because of the backspacing/offset. My link 2 I also found this link that helps to explain how offset and BS works. Calculator Edited July 28, 2010 by Entropy98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
180sx Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I think 5" might be too much BS for a 11.5 wide tire. I'm not sure. How much you selling your old gear for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPLORx4 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) There is no way you will fit 285/75R16's on a wheel with 5" backspacing on an 8"-wide wheel. 4.25" BS is probably the limit. What tire size are you getting? 265/75R16's MIGHT fit, but you'd need to test fit to be sure... Edited July 28, 2010 by XPLORx4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What tire size are you getting? 265/75R16's MIGHT fit, but you'd need to test fit to be sure... The link that showed the offset automatically put 285/75R16 in as a default. I know that would never work with the AC lift. 265/75R16 is what I plan on running. The exact dimentions are 10.5" section width, and 31.9" radius. The problem is test fitting when I am buying online. Don't know how easy it is to return if the wheels don't work. I am assuming that these would work better? 4.25 BS Edited July 29, 2010 by Entropy98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPLORx4 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 They would work "better" but I can't make any guarantees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
