Actual Wheel Backspace

[mixermike]

Would you be interested in running 18's and 20's ? You could come over to my place and check out my wheels on my truck with a 5 1/2" drop in front and 7 1/2" drop in the rear. I would like to sell them and run 20's front and rear

Thanks for all the input. I ordered a 4" backspace (based on the centered offest of the current wheel0 but they came in at 3.625" Just worried about going in too deep. Have been considering doing a 17" x 7" with 4.5" backspace just to avoid problems. I was hoping to run the same wheel and tire all the way around to carry one full size spare and rotate the wheels but no go. Tire size is 245/70/17 I will go narrower up front if needed, that can be changed but the wheel will not be able to.

Hey Mike, I would love to come up and check things out, see how your truck is set up, but as far as the wheels go I already bought my wheels and 18" or 20" are more of a mordern look than I was trying for on my truck. Let me know. Thanks.

Went and checked out MixerMike's collection. (Thanks Mike, nice to hang out with you for a bit) He is running 18x8.5 with 5" backspace. I am leaning towards 17x7 with 4.875" backspace. Mike brought up a good point that the face of the wheel might be too far in the fender and look goofy. Does this sound right? About ready to reorder and wait the 6 weeks again.

Speaking of looking goofy. Here is the first mounting of the 3.625 B/S wheels.
