I have seen where I need 4.5 backspacing on aftermarket wheels. I like a few Eagle Alloy wheels that have 4.46 and 4.47 backspacing. Does anyone know if this wil make a difference or not? Thanks!

Should be fine, not much difference between them.

How wide of a tire do you plan to run? Is this for an 8" wide wheel?

If you are only running a 12.50-13.50 on an 8 you will be fine

I am planning on running a 35 12.50 17... I guess a 17x8 or 17x9 would be fine right? I would probably just go ahead and get the 9 cause it is not much more and seems the sensible thing to do!

Read a post a while ago and it said 35x12.50 would work great on 8 wide rim so when airing down less likely to come off the bead. :
