DirtyD Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I am looking at running a set of 305/70R16LT, Irok ND and was wondering what backspacing i would need on a rim so they wouldn't rub on the strut. I know Rich13 is running 3.75 but I can't find 16x8 with that bs. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverPath Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 3.75 is what I run. I would not go bigger as it will hit the strut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyD Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 would 2.5" of BS be too much? I don't want them to stick way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorpe991 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Im not runing 305s but i have rims with 3" bs and i stick about 1-2" past the fender with 31x10.5x15 but when i run my mudders that have same bs but a much narrower tire i only stick out about an inch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 would 2.5" of BS be too much? I don't want them to stick way out. Here are some pictures of an R50 with 10.5" wide tires mounted on 7" rims with 4" back spacing. 305mm=12" width.12" tread on 8" rims with 2.5" BS is going to stick way the hell out there, about 3" farther. (it's all in the math ) B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
