Which Crager 15" series 397 (black steel) rim do I want on my STOCK '05? I plan on running 235/75r15 or 30x9.50r15 tires. 3975713 15X7 5X4.5 +6 4 1/4" bs 3975813 15X8 5X4.5 +6 4 3/4"bs 3975812 15X8 5X4.5 -12 4"bs |

Assuming that I understand how backspacing works: The stock 7" rims have 5.5" backspacing, so going to an 8" rim with 4" bs will push the outside of your rims out 2 1/2"--probably more than you're looking for. The 15x7 with 4 1/4" bs will move them out by 1 1/4", and the 15x8 with 4 3/4" bs will move them out by 1 3/4". I'd say either would work, but 7" should be wide enough for 9.5" tires. Whatever you do, I'd recommend that you get them someplace that you can try them on and make sure they fit. |

Wouldn't that be 1.5" push? Or is there more to it than 5.5" minus 4"? |

I need to pick my rims first - 3 week lead time to get them in Hawaii Well the best I can figure is with a 8 in rim vs 7 add 1 inch with a 4 3/4 back space vs 5 1/2 add 3/4 inch with a 10.5 tire vs a 9.5 add 1/2 inch Grand Total 2 1/4 sticking out more Taking into consideration the tight wheel wells = major cutting even witha lift But Im ready to go for it Tax Returns + need new tires + Just about out of warranty = Time to do it Living in Hawaii is rough on shipping Frankinlift 775 Ship 300 Front Hitch 145 Ship 75 3975813 Cragar 75 x 4 300 inc ship Costco BFG AT 130 x4 520 Total 2115 plus some tax Ouch - But got to do it sometime KjHawaii |
