Help! will 4.5" backspacing rub?
I'm now looking to put 285/75/16 goodyear all terrains on my stock X with no lift. Will they rub with the 16x8 Pro Comp 7089 wheels with 4.5" of backspacing? Does anyone have pics of this combination as well. Thanks

Q: What back spacing will I need on my wheels in order to clear 12.50 wide tires?
A: I would recommend that you do not exceed 4.75" of back spacing and even at that, you may still have some minor rubbing up front at a full turn. Also, I would recommend that you do not go any less than 3.75" as anything less would cause your tires to stick out very far past the fender flares. Any back spacing within this range should work out great.
