I installed a Camburg 6.5 almost-mid-travel kit (strapped at just about 10" in the front) with Deaver F49 rear leaf springs, but now I need to look for a specific size wheel and it's becoming a little frustrating since a lot of websites won't let you specify size and backspacing and whatnot (just the year/make/model of the vehicle).

Anyway, are there any wheels that are 17x8 or 17x9 with a 5x135mm bolt pattern with 4.0-4.25" backspacing that are somewhat commonly available? So far the only ones that I found are Eagle Alloys series 137 (17x8, 5x135mm, 4.25" backspacing). But if I order them today, I'll get them sometime in mid to late July.

A wheel with 4.5" of backspacing might fit, but the tire will be really close to rubbing the upper arm at full lock. By "really close", I mean maybe 1/4-1/2" away from the arm. That's why I'm looking for a wheel with 4-4.25" of backspacing that is somewhat readily available (if such a wheel exists).

 

4.5 inches of backspacing is most common. As long as you have clearance you will be fine.

 

Thanks. Do you also happen to know the backspacing of the stock wheels? My stockers are 16x7 and look like this



I tried guesstimating it with a level and a tape measure, but since my garage isn't level and the tire is on the rim and that's not level, it's kind of hard. I am guessing its somewhere around 4.5-4.75", but if you have an exact answer, that would be great.

 

I would like to know what the backspacing on these rims are as well...

 

All of the OEM 16x7 and 17x7.5 inch wheels have 4.5 inches of backspacing.

 

I'm new to the scene, i have a 2007 hd f150, and i'm looking to buy tires today. I still have the factory 22's, i think they're 22x9, and want to put nitto nt 420s 305/40/22 on there. Will i have any issues with size, look? I want flush. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
