Help With Backspacing

Right now i have a 2000 f150 with a 3" body lift and stock wheels on 275's..im just wondering how much farther a 4.5" backspaced wheel will stick out compared to the stock ones..

It will depend on the width of the wheel since the oem 16x7 and 17x7.5 inch wheels have 4.5 inches of bs also.

Assuming the same tire size they would stick out 2.5'' further.

I have pics in my gallary of 285/75-16's and 315/75-16's on 16x10 inch wheels with 4.5 inches of bs. THey will basically be even with the edge of your fender flares.
