Default Experiences with Dick Cepek Wheels?
Looking at the Torque wheel. Just trying to get a few opinions or experiences, if available.

They are a 5" BS wheel. Will that be an issue? Lift companies are recommending 4.5 backspacing.

depending on how wide of a tire you plan to run, yeah, the 5" BS may prove to be a problem in the rubbing department at a full turn.

I plan on running a 315/70-17 Duratrac with an OME 2" HD lift - nets about 3"
