Back Spacing

I am looking at a tire and wheel combo online and wondering what back spacing I need to fit my truck. I have an 04 FX4 with the factory 18" wheel if anyone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated


Thanks

Dave

You have 5.5" of BS. You want to keep as close to that as possible.

I agree. What size tire/wheel are you looking at?

I am looking at Pro Comp Xtreme Alloy Series 7105 for the wheels and Nitto Terra Grapplers in 285/60/R18 for the tires.

Those will fit fine. That wheel will stick out 2 inches farther than your oem rims. Personally, I'd go with a tire larger than a 285/60-18 (32x11.50).

Thanks Wandell I will change them to the 325/60/R18. I really appreciate the help. Now I have to talk my wife into this.
