How far out will 4.25 in. backspacing move my tires from stock? I don't want the tires to stick out past the fender flairs either. Also anyone one running with these exact wheels? Some photos would be great :D
Rock Crawler Series 51
Part Number: PCW51-6866
16x8, 5 on 4.5 Bolt Pattern Backspacing = 4.25 in. Finish = Black Powder Coat

Actually the Cragars are less expensive and better looking imo, so from what I've read these wheels would stick out 1.5 in. more the the stock 16X7s with 4.5 in. backspacing correct?

Makes sense to me... they're 1inch wider and have .5" more backspacing...

The OEM rims are 16x7 with 5.5" of BS(or 17x7.5 with 5.5" of BS),so a 16x8 rim with 4.25" of BS and zero offest will stick out 2.25" farther then the stock rims,so they will stick out farther then the flares.Stick with a 7" rim and you'll be way better off,a 8" rim is for 11" or wider tires anyway.

The wheels arrived today but apparantly the center caps were seperate, they have chrome ones for 13.39 ea but I was wondering if there were any other options that would be less expensive and perhaps black. All Summit racing has are the chromed aluminum ones.
