Tuckin' Rim

I am looking at the Vision 256 at visionwheel.com. If i wanted to get the 17x9.5 rim for the rear of my truck, would 5.25 backspacing be enough to tuck it and drag frame?

Thanks
Jason

That is the back spacing I have on my 18x9.5's and they tuck. Just don't get too wide of a tire. I think mine are 285/40/18's. If I had gone with any wider of a tire, I probably would of had to go with 5.5" b.s. Right now I've got more clearance on the inner part of the tire that the outer. But you want to keep them as far out as possible to look good. Of course I'm not dragging frame (nor would I want to). But with it dropped on the c-notch, they fit just perfect.
