ok ive got 285/60/r18 Nitto terra grapplers.

what offset ( i think thats what it is maybe backspacing) do i need to get when i get my new rims to make the tires stick out an inch or 2 of the fender??

 

A 9 inch wide wheel with 5 inches of backspacing will stick out 2 inches farther than your OEM wheels.

 

whats the backspacing on rockstars. im wanting them in an 18x9.

nm i found them. i guess rockstars will make the tires do what i want.

 

The best fitment for your vehicle in that wheel would be 18x9 with a 0 offset. That would have a 4.96" back spacing.

 

will it do like wendall said and stick out of the fender about 2 inches??

 

This will not stick out at all. But, this will not require you to lift the vehicle at all either. If you get it to stick out to much you might need to put a leveling kit on or do some fender modifications.

 

mine have 5.71 of backspacing and they stick out about an inch and a half. My tires are 285/65/18

 

im just guna go with the rockstars. they have the normal of 5 inch backspacing so it will make them stick out what im wanting to acheive,. thanks for the help guys.

 

Does this mean you've ditched the idea of wheel spacers? If so...

 

haha ya i guess i have... for now

 

Sorry, but I gave you some misinformation. For some reason I was thinking you had a new body style truck. A 9 inch wide wheel with 5 inches of BS will only stick out 1.5 inches farther than the OEM 16x7 wheels and only 1 inch farther than the OEM 17x7.5 inch wheels. It's hard to get wheels to stick out of the wheelwells on the 97-03 trucks. My wheels are 10 inches wide with 4.5 inches of BS and the edge of my tire/wheel is just about even with the edge of my fender flares up front. I have pics in my gallary if you want to see.

 

can you even get 5" of bs on a 97-03?

Nevermind, guess you can. I didn't kno you could get more than 4.5

 

well im just guna go with the rockstars in 18x9. they come with 5 in backspacing so i will see if they stick out any and if not i may be running some bigger tires or wheel spacers in the future...

 

They will stick out plenty. Trust me .

I dont have any good pics I dont think.. let me look.
