Default Backspacing and fender clearance.

Pic request!
I'd like to see rims that have 4.25", 4.5", 3.75" backspacing and how far they stick out....
Currently I am running a 4.65" backspace but want something that sticks out a little bit more.
Thanks!!!

It also depends on what size wheel he is running compared to what size wheel your running. If he has a 17x10 for example with 4.5 inches of Back Spacing and you have a 17x8.5 with 4.5 inches of Back Spacing, his wheel will sit out an extra 1.5 inches more then yours. Also he might be running a wider tire then you.

good luck in finding a 17 x 10 wheel (without adapters)...

This is something I'd love for my rig.

Thanks guys.
I am thinking a 16x8 (what I have now with my 35" A/T's) with 4.25" backspace will be good for my 35" M/T's.
