I went into a tire shop today and they told me that 245x75x16 on a 16x7 rim with a 4 in backspace will stick out past the wheel wells too much. Is that true? |

The question was about width not height. Common sense. |

With only 1.5 in lift from old man emu I only wanted it to be flush with the flares. Would changing the backspace from 4" to something Else work. What is the backspace on the stock 05 Limited rims? |

I have 225x75 on them now. thanks They will stick out 1 CM further, less than 1/2 inch... close to an inch wider overall, just under the diameter of a quarter if that helps. Stock BS id 5.5 inches. With 245 aspect tires and 1.25 inch wheel spacers from spydertrax your tires should be flush. Personally I would just stick with stock wheels and your 247/75 r 16 tires |

I had the spacers but took them off. My personal preference because it stuck out too far. I say stock wheels no spacer... only down side is you would rub your sway bar at full lock ( but I feel full steering lock is bad anyways) |

 I plan on buying a set of Cepek 16x8 DC-2 wheels for our 06 Ltd. I would like to use the DC FC II, LT 265 /75R16 tires. We are presently running the Rusty's 2" lift with stock rims and 245/75R 16 tires with a little bit of rub at full lock but with the additional offset, I may get away with the extra inch of diameter. The front is still lower than the rear so I may add the Rusty's 2" front spacers above the 2" longer front struts to give us a total of 4". Any Comments?

Any Comments? stick with a 16X7 with 4 inches of back spacing first second without regearing 265-75-16 are too big third..........you're asking for a huge mess trying to run a bagged out Rustys lift with their spacer lift Huge mess Need to rethink Those Rustys springs first were never meant to be on a CRD they are rated at 100 lbs less than the stock CRDs . |

So that is why the front end is so much lower than the rear....But what to do now? Does anyone make a proper spring for a longer strut? I realize the 265's are too big, I will go back with 245's grippers. Just for giggles, I lifted the front an additional 2" tonight with a floor jack and it looks awesome, level even! I don't mind spending money, I just don't like wasting money. I sure appreciate the advice, the 16 x 8's will be here tmrw however. |

OME 790 springs for the front plus OME front shocks stock CRD springs are rated at 410 lb OME 790s are rated at 500 lb will give you lift plus will last a lot longer than stock or the Rustys ever would |
