Wheel/Tire rub question
Hey guys, I've never done this before so I'm hoping someone can give me some insight. I've found some new wheels because I know the OEM's will not allow a 12.5 in tire without rubbing, but I'm not sure how to tell if these will rub with a tire that size. 17x9 with 10 offset

Any help would be appeciated.

You need to know the backspacing of the wheel. You need, at a minimum, 4.75" backspacing, but the preferred backspacing is 4.5". The less backspacing a wheel has, the more it sticks out, away from the vehicle, giving your tires room.
