Smile 8" Rize wheel backspace

So I saw on the Rize website that the recommended wheel backspace for the F150 8" kit is 4.5" but I was wondering what the extremeties are for the kit. If anyone knows it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure but I think some members have used wheels with 5 inches of BS and Rize lifts.

Thanks wandell. I e-mailed Rize but they're a little slow on the response. I'm just trying to get all the info so I can get some new wheels picked out.

I'm running 4.5bs. one guy on here is running 5.7bs on 22s that I can think of, but I'm pretty sure it rubs.

I'm planning on something around the 20"-22" range but haven't made a final decision as of yet. It's good to know that it sounds like 5.7 may be the max I should go when it comes to backspacing.

Hey texan, by the looks of your signature I'd guess you're probably a continental pilot? and I'd also guess that the aircraft is a CRJ-700 by the looks of it. I work as an ops/ramp agent at SJC so I've seen a bunch of planes come and go. Plus I got to brake ride the 737-800s for Delta when they were RONs. I'll be off to become an air traffic controller in the fall so who knows, in a few years I just may be directing you

Sorry if that was a bit off topic.
