Talking Those with camper topz

I need to find out what are the measurements that I need to go by or where I need to measure my bed from?
Are there any standard sizes?

Maybe, but it won't be new. I got a friend that has and old one he ask me what were my measurements , , .
It's a little old but I hope it works. It won't be on all the time, only when I head out to the track for the weekend and maybe using it instead of camping.

Nice video.

If I hadn't of sold this camper shell I would have got some track #'s for you. 11's with the shell would have been a piece of cake.

Yes, they are ProStarXP's. the front wheels are 18x8 with 4.5" backspace and the rear are 18x9.5 with 6" back space. I'm pretty sure of the sizes, but you can do a search just to be sure. I think weld only make them in those two sizes in 18" to fit our trucks. They make them in the draglite XP and prostar XP.

Yeah thats what i ordered.......ProStar XP's. Now that i look at your pic. it does look like the front has more rim showing at the wheel then the rears do. Is there a reason you went with a 4.5 front backspace? Specs show 6" on all four. At least thats what Discount tire tells me. How do ya like them?

Sorry E-LO I didnt mean to hi-jack this thread.

The 9.5" wide wheels are 6" back space, but the 8" are 4.5". I have 305/45/18 rear tires and 255/45/18 on the front. The fronts have less sidewall.
