Need your opinion on wheels I'm about to buy
Hi everyone I need your opinion badly on this one,
I need to reduce my backspacing because of my 3'' lift (tires are rubbing on rear swaybar), so I was in the market for wheel spacers since I like the 16" factory wheels look. Today I stumbled upon a set of wheels that look exactly like the factory ones but with 4.5" of backspacing instead of 6.25, the problem is they are only 6.5" wide (factory are 7"). I'm running 285/75/16 (almost 11.5") with no problem on stock rims and I'm not willing to go any wider soon. will these work??
The guy gave me a wounderful deal on them... I need your ok before pulling the triger. Thanks

^^^what he said. But it should really be a smoking deal because that width will limit you to future upgrades I would think. I'm not sure you would want to put a 12.5" tire on them.

Since you're running 33s, I'd think that 6.5" would be ok. However, if you plan to go any larger, I'd recommend wider wheels. Also, you might want to check your tire mfg site to see what they recommend as their minimum width.

I need more opinion PLEASE! I know some folks runnig 12.5" wide on the stock 7" rims, so I figured it should be the same to run 11.5 on 6.5" ( even slightly better)???
