TOO MUCH
4-1/2 inch back space is stock. That much will be rubbing all of the time.
good luck, scott

Front? Rear? Or both? I have 9.5" wide wheels on the rear of mine with 5.25" b.s. I have about 1" - 3/4" clearance between the tire and the inner wheel tub and hardly any clearance on the outside. I'd say pass on those..... wouldn't look good IMO. They'd be sucked into the wheel well openings too far.

Thats four wheels all with a 5.625 backspacing. I dont want to pass up a deal like this one. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=43957
But I guess if they wont work good I have to. They list for 305 a piece on Boyds site. I know the sale is over but I emailed the seller. Guess Ill keep my eyes out for another deal
