What's the backspacing on the rear wheels? The bs on the front wheels sounds about right.

Re: help! rims & tires!

I'm worried that the 4.5" bs on the rear might cause some rubbing issues. It would probably be a safer bet with a 5 or 5.5" bs. Is your truck lowered?

Yea, its lowered 5 " in the back and looking at going two more, so you think 5 or 5.5 bs in the back?

Re: help! rims & tires!

Also, what size tires are you planning on running - do not forget to factor tire width into the equation
