a 16x10 is with around 4.5'' backspacing. that would stick out about the same. would stick out 3.5'' further than a stock rim with a stock 265.

I'd go with a 16x10 with 4.5 inches of backspacing.

it is just another (more hard to understand) way to measure the same thing. Just tell them 4.5'' backspacing and that'll get the job done....

ok thanks. one more question will wheel spacers be hard on your wheel bearings, i only got 200km on my set of new wheel bearing, and then had to get them replaced.

Yes, wheel spacers are hard on wheel bearings and other components.

wheel spacers

If I get rid of my wheel spaces and get new rims with a 4.5" backspacing will I have the same trouble with wheel bearings.

Anytime you increase tire size or wheel width you increase wear and tear to a certain extent. However, I guarantee you my truck is in better shape than most stock trucks that have been abused and neglected.
