Default Wheel/Spacer Combo Inquiry

Wheel/Spacer Combo Inquiry
Hey Folks,

Lookin at pullin trig on Wheel/Tire options due to insane 18" Tire pricings.

Contemplating 16x10 5x5.5 Pro Comp 152 (Good deal from friend Deceased Suzook Sammy Donor) Backspacing is 4"

Then in order to fit bolt pattern, invest in Spidertrax 1.375" spacer.

Wondering if this will result in tires sticking waaaaay too far out.

If you got pics, post em, opinions, back em up.

Thx In Advance

Short answer: Yes. 4" BS will make them stick out a good bit, add in the spacers, and you're basically running 2.5" BS.

yeah, you'd be better off finding a wheel with the proper 5x5 bolt pattern and backspacing.
