Okay, so Ifound a great seal on this setup on ebay. THey're Toyo Open Country AT's on Eagle Alloy Wheels. Im not a huge fan of the wheels, but the price was right for the tires, so I looked at the wheels as a freebie. My question is do you think the backspacing is too much, causing the wheels to stick out too far or do you think they look okay as-is?

Personally they stick out a little too much for my tastes and I'm also not that big a fan of the rims.
If they were such a good deal that the rims were a "freebie" then I would sell the rims and put the money towards a set of rims that you really like.

 

I think those wheels look horrible, but the backspacing on them is good...

Tell us how you really feel...

 

They do stick out a little far for my taste, also they look like they need a good polishing. I've seen those rims clean up and they don't look that bad. What size tires are those?

 

They're 325/60/18's. I plan on taking the powerball to them this weekend and polishing them up a little. I got the whole set for $400 plus $200 shipping. So Iwouldn't mind spending a little more on some nicer wheels.

 

Also, what backspacing is would ya'll recommend? It seems like everything is about 5.5" I'm not sure what the current ones are.

 

Hey, I like those wheels! I would want a little more backspacing, but that's not terrible.

 

100 times better then the stock look in my option.

 

2 Questions for you DJH, what backspacing are your wheels and what did you use to trim your fender flares? Truck looks great BTW.

 

i think they look perfect polish them up a little bit.

 

Man I forgot what the BS was on them but I want to think 4.5". I read so many treads they all run together now. Someone else may know for sure, sorry.

I used a dermal (sp?) bit that I got from wally world in my drill. Nothing hi-tech but it got the job done. I also place a screw at the very bottom to keep the flare tight and out of the way.
