I think I've got my question answered already but I'd like a few other opinions. I've seen a truck with 15x10 wheels and 4" backspacing. I'm trying to figure out what backspacing I'd need for some 16x8 wheels to stick out just as much. I'm assuming 15x10 with 4" backspacing have 6" in front of the hub. So 16x8's would also need 6" meaning 2" backspacing right? Would that little of backspacing on a 16x8 wheel be safe and would it fit on a 9" lift(6" RCX + 3" Body) with 285/75? I know the 285's make no sense on a truck this high but.. It's all I've got for now lol. I'm going to go 37x12.5 eventually.
