Hello everyone, new member here but long time GMT400 owner. Looking for a little help. I have a '93 rcsb and am looking to put different aftermarket wheels on it but am sick of the front wheels sticking outside the fenders and chipping up my paint!

I run stock suspension on this one (not even leveled) and tires are stock size 265/75/R16s. I am looking at a 16x8 wheel with 4.5 backspacing. Anyone know if or how far these would stick outside the fender (demolded and no flares). I did some searching and best I could find for an answer is "a hair".

Thank you in advance to anyone willing to help. I hope I posted in correct spot and look forward to posting some pics in the future as I have enjoyed admiring all the members rides!

they will literally stick out a hair, to not stick out at all you need the same backsapcing and wheel width. if you decide to crank it up a bit youll pull the wheels back in a bit but youll also need an alignment after which is always a good idea if your spending money on new shoes.
