Stock Tires.. New Wheels - need opinions
I am trying to space out my mods but I really want to get these rims off of here. The plan is to go 35" tires but to do that I would need to lift and I don't have the cheddar to do all of that right now. My thought was to just get some new rims and move my stock tires over to them. I was thinking the rockstar 2 rims. I currently have the 17" wheel setup with the 255/75r17 tires. They have a 10mm offset but I can't find any info on the backspacing. I am curious will I be able to use these same rims when I put a lift and 35" tires on it or should I look at a different rim/size that would work with my stock tires and some 35's I toss on there at some point?
Thanks Smooth out |
The FAQ's and Thoughts On Lifts threads, right at the top of this modified area, both talk about backspace vs tire size. And if you look at the description for a lot of the lifts on the market, they will give recommended tire size for whatever the lift height is, and many will also give a backspace vs tire size recommendation.
For 35x12.50's, a 4.5" backspace is a very common recommendation. |
So I did do some more research and I found some 12mm offset wheels that give me the 4.5" backspacing I need. The rims are 9" wide and I believe the stocks are 8. Will that be a problem?

I think the bf Goodrich site gives parameters for the rim size for the 255/75/17 if that helps.

Based on my updated research 8.5" is the widest rim "technically" that you can put them on. I might just have to hold off and do the lift first then do the tires/rims at the same time.
