If you have a picture on the web somewhere, right click it, properties, highlight the address and right click, copy.

Then in your post type this [img]x[/img] replace x with the paste of the address you copied earlier and it should include the picture in your post.

Right, you need 4.5 inches of backspacing. THis is the same as your factory wheels and is the most commom backspacing on aftermarket wheels. A few aftermarket wheels have 5 inches of backspacing which is also fine.
