what backspacing would create less rub when running 10" rallys?

Not sure what my original 8" rally back spacking / offset is?

But if I lift my k10 2.5" and run 33x12.50's on a 10" rallys (they don't make 9")
what off set would HELP with rubbing issues due to the wheels being wider than the 8" rallys?

I like the beefier look so I thought if you counter some of the extra width with more / less offset maybe that would help some?

thanks guys

Factory 8" ralleys are 4" back spacing

5" BS for 10" rallys.

If possible get more bs upfront so the front wheels don’t stick out farther

Thanks for the replys guys this helps a lot.

So, if I do a 4" and 35's on an 87 k10 and go with 10" rally wheels with 5" back spacing will they still rub worth than 35's on the 8" wheels? if so how bad worse? OK to order up if I like the 10" look.

thanks fellas

Look @ your current set-up. Where does it rub?
If it's rubbing somewhere on the inside (tie-rod @ rim; fender lip; etc.) & you add more backspacing, it will only get worse.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
