so winter is coming in a few month and in quebec canada we need winter tire.
so i decided for bfg all terrain for ther ability to go prety much anywhere and for there little mountain logo ( snow legal ).
i will change my crapy 18 tire on my sahara. i just need to know the back spacing i need to order my steel wheels. the tire tread need to be inside the fenders heer or i can have problem with the law. so can somone help me.

sorry for my english

Any 16" wheel that is 8" wide and 5" or less of backspacing will do fine. The cheapest is the Cragar steel wheels $60 per wheeel and most alloy wheels run $120-200 or more in the 16x8 size.

all right for the 8 inch of width but if i whant to keep the tire iside the fenders ... is 5 bether than 4

i know how it works but im confused still.

i know the tire will be 3 cm wider so like 1 inch 1/4 and i guess that with 4 or 4.5 back spacing will be all right.

its hard to figure this out when you dont actualy have the wheel and tire in front of you

armycop

If you stick with 5" backspacing, the tire will be about even with the fender flare and not stick out. Mine stuck out because I have the Spidertrax 1.5" spacers on them. The less backspacing, the more it will stick out. The factory backspacing is 6.25" but your tires are a bit wider, so you will need some room. Most of the Cragars or common alloy wheels are 5" or 4.5" of backspacing.

Pictures being worth a thousand words, here's an image I took of mine just to show how much my wheels stick out (ATT, had RC 2.5" Lift and 2.2 Shocks, Procomp 7089 16x8 Wheels [4.5" BS], Dick Cepek 285/75R16 FC-IIs). This is close to what you're considering. Five inches of BS, as Armycop suggests, should keep you 100% legal.
