Re: Backspace?
backspace means how many inches are from the lip of the rim to the mounting surface.

Re: Backspace?
need to know if truck is lowered or not . If not lowered , should be ok in the rear . Front could be a problem .3.5 bs is pretty extreme for the front unless you are running pretty skinny tires

Re: Backspace?
Again , if your truck is stock or if its jacked up , no problem on the front even with 295,s , but it will definitely hit your fender lip if lowered . Be careful , get other advice as well
