im lifting my 2001 f150 screw 6 inches and getting 315x75rx16 procomp xtreme a/t. which size rim would be best for that setup like 16x8 or 16x10 etc... also how much backspacing

 

You want a 16x10 with 4.5 inchess of backspacing. THat's what I have.

 

ok thanks. also does the rim have anything to do with how far the tire sticks out of the truck? And what the the x10 mean from a 16x10 wheel??/

 

Yes, the width and backspacing of the wheel determines how far the tire/wheel sticks out or tucks in. The "16x10" means the rim has a 16 inch diameter and the width is 10 inches. Here's a pic of mine.

 

ohhhh ok thanks alot wandell im new at tires and rims. but one more question.
for example the rims i want are the procomp 7189 rims, they are 16x10 5x4.5. will those be the ones i want?? and also what size would i get if i want about another inch out the side from the tires????
thanks-

 

No, those won't fit your truck. The 5x4.5 refers to the bolt pattern. Our bolt pattern is 5x135mm. As for tire size, I wouldn't go larger than a 35x13.50 tire with a 6 inch lift.

 

oh ok thats what i thought i just wanted to make sure before i bought them.
thanks
