Experts? Tire backspacing and tire wheel combo?
 

Once again I'm in need of yalls help. I have some 15x10 wheels that I'm going to use for a while b.ecause I just need the old girl on the road. I have a few issues though.

1. I can't figure out the backspacing in these old wheels I have, heck I can't even figure out the brand. I'll post wheel pics at the bottom.
2. I can't figure out if what I have will have any negative impact on what I'm doing. (tuff country easy ride with 4"front/4"rear and zero certs).
3. I want the tires to look right on the rim. I'm going to put 33"x? I'm thinking 12.50s. also how will the width of these tires affect my paint ( i'm mean like 2 years from now when I get it painted), are they constantly going to be tossing rocks. -Thanks Jason

They look like old American Racing rims, I could be wrong though. Follow this link for an explanation of backspacing

Jay Dub Thanks, I've got four inch back spacing on those ten inch wheels. Does anyone know if that will cause a problem with my above questions. -Jason

No one can tell me if these 4" inside offset wheel will rub with a four inch lift and 33" tires?

Re: Experts? Tire backspacing and tire wheel combo?
 

You'll be fine.

Should look close to the stance pictured below.

4" lift with 10" wide wheels and 12.5 x 33" tires.
(4" back spacing)

Point taken VT :dohh:, sometimes i get stupid. I'd love to blame it on public schools but I think I've got to eat the crow on this one. I'll try to get better at my board manors. As always thanks for your help and thanks to everyone else for putting up with someone that acts ignerant sometimes. :): -Jason

Only meant as a reminder, your board manors are great.

Eitherway, the set up you want to run is one of the most common, best looking lift tire combo's out there for a driver.

FYI, I have a set of 15x12.5x33" BFG All-Terrains for sale in the Misc. classifieds. Nearly new with less than 1,300 miles on them, they're in storage here in Atlanta.
