Wheel question+ pics
Does anyone have 8in wide
wheels with 4.5 backpacking? I need to know if they come out past the stock fenders because of the coverage law in part. Pics would help.

I have the Cragar Soft 8's on my 2011.
15x8 4.5 back space.
These will fit with minimal issues. The rear will bolt right on no problems at all. The front you have two options #1 run 1/8th spacer to give the brake caliper proper clearance on the wheels. #2 look for the contact on the calipers and grind the raised edge (casting lines) on the caliper until it clears the wheels.
This is only something to worry about with the 15" wheels.
They barely stick past the stock flare if at all. The 10" wheel with 4.5 back space will stick past the stock flare about two inches.
Hope this helps.
