WHEEL BACKSPACE/OFFSET: 6" + 37x12.50s

mekanik671 · 04-12-2009, 12:28 AM

i've just installed a 6" tuff country - so far the measurements show that it is a true 6" of lift. most of the aftermarket wheel that i really like have been 4.5-4.75" of backspace... i've seen on the forum where some guys have no issues with clearence/rubbing and where some do.....

i'd like to clear a 37x12.50 tire-what are you guys with similar setups running??

Personally I would look for a wheel that is 9 inches wide with a BS of 5.5- 6 inches.

Are you still running the stock bumper?? Are you just trimming the plastic on the fender liner?? Thanks.

I'm running the rims in my sig and only had to trim the air dam up front and have minimal rubbing..... Once I put an adjustable track bar in i don't think the tires will rub any more....

i run the Toyo 37-13.50-17 M/Ts on 17x10 Helos with a +10 offset (5.875" BS). It is a second gen and I don't go wheeling, but I don't rub at all. The wheels still clear the Thuren crossover steering, too.
