Anyone have an aftermarket 16x8 with 4.5" or so backspacing? Trying to figure out how far it spaces the wheels out.... I was trying to stick with something a little closer to 5" backspacing... but found American Eagle wheels in a MickeyThompson type lookalike in 16x8, 5x5, with +6mm offset and 4.625 backspacing... now i dont know a whole lot about wheels, but im guessing this sounds about right, but would like to doublecheck with someone on here.... thanks

I have 17 x 8 with 4.5" of backspace. My 35 x 12.5 x 17 tires stick out 1.75" past the flares

I've got 16x8 w/ 5" backspace. I will be posting pics soon. I am running a black diamond 3" lift with the 16x8 5"BS and 315 75 16 (35"). I'm just over 1.25" from the fender flares. I like the nice tight look, no rubbing and should ariculate well.

I'm only planning on running 265 75 16's, not much bigger than stock, and just wanted a different wheel cause the X S-package wheels are fugly, haha...

They also come in several finishes, like Rubimons chrome/polished look.

I liked that wheels also but didnt think it was available in the 5x5 bolt pattern? Are you planning on running spacers to change it to another bolt pattern?

Piginajeep

its available, but doesnt show on procomps website for some reason. If you wait, i'm going in the store tonight to buy some seat brackets. I'll post actual pictures for you guys.
