I am about to purchase some rims this weekend and would like to see some pics of some 17 or 18 by 9 inch rims with 5.5 inches of backspacing. I see the 4.5 backspacing and like the look but don't want to have the rubbing issues. I just hope that the 5.5 will stick out a little and still look good. Anyways any pics you guys have would be great. I plan on either a 325-65-18 or a 325-60-18 and have the 2.5" as. I also want to get the back raised an inch or 2.

Thanx again for the help everyone!

 

To run the 35's you may have to run a 8" wide wheel like I had to. This gives you more clearance in the front wheelwells.

 

What is the backspacing on those 17x8's? The amount that sticks out on those looks nice.

 

The Crush wheels have a 5 1/2" backspace. I had the same 315's on 17x9 Crater's with 5 inches of backspace and they rubbed on the lower wheelwells. The key to running 35's is to use stock wheels or aftermarket wheels with close to stock specs. And that's on a leveled 4x4. With a full suspension lift, no problems.

 

Do you think with a little trimming I could squeez the 35's. I really like the new BFG KM2's!

 

On a 8" wheel with 5 1/2 inches of backspace you probably wouldn't need any trimming, or just put them on the stock wheels. By the way those are great looking tires.

 

I agree.

 

Already have the rim picked out!

Think it'll look nice with the BFG KM2's?

 

Sweet!

 

Does anyone make a 34 inch mud tire. I think I am going to have problems when entering and exiting my steep drive-way with the 35's and would love a little bit more clearance. The only thing I have found so far is the BFG A/T KO 305 65 18 but I would rather put on a M/T!
