k well ive been looking around at wheels and im going with 16x8 but what backspace do i need?..stock is +40 so mabye +30?? i have the 1.25" wheels spacers so not sure what way to go..and input and pics of ur wheel/tire setups will be awsome....

first off... stock is not +40.. stock on the 17 inch wheel is +30... what offset you get is also determined by the tire size... and since you are going with a 16 inch rim i'm assuming you want ot go big. Give me a tire size and i'll give you a combo that will give you the least amount of problems

( after re-reading that it seems a bit like a $& statement and its not meant to be).... send me a PM and i'll help you out I did a lot of research before i got my wheels

dont limit the info for to just PMs, let other people help! i currently have 16x8 5" backspacing, idk what that is in mm and im not doing math cause its 2am :lol:

if i was to buy steel wheels again i would pr go 16x7 4" bs. they would weigh a touch less and you would be able to air down more if you had a narrower tire. the narrower wheel would make it harder to pop a tire off the bead.

if your worried about popping the bead get bead locks... the reason i want to talk in a PM is cause i'll be crunching his numbers specifically... if you got random questions to ask feel free... i'm open to answer anything

imo its too poser looking unless youve got like 35+ in tires

I air down to 15ish psi frequently; I wouldn't run beadlocks unless I had 37+ inch tires and wanted to run less than 10 psi. I haven't had any problems (knock on wood). Plus I don't think beadlocks are street legal. Not trying to be a nelson, it's just late and I'm bored :seuss:

K so I measured my front from center of wheel to bottom of fender and it 22" rear is 21.2 so can I run a 265/75/16 and get away with it

with the RK that shouold fit its a 31.6 inch wheel

Do I need to trim anything or will the 265/75/16s be fine ?? Or should I do 245/75/16s to be safe???

265/75/16 would pry fit fine with a little trimming but you will need to have to regear and most people arent ready to spend that kind of money. you should stick with 265/70/16 or 245/75/16, both are approx 31".
