Title: Looking for pics - 8" wide wheels w/ 4" and 4.5" backspacing?
Post by: Will on March 30, 2008, 10:03:40 pm

Hey guys, Im planning future mods for when I get my truck later this year.  Wondered if yall could post pics of your setups w/ 8" wide wheels and 4 and 4.5" backspacing.  Im trying to see how different they look and which Im gonna want to go with.  Be sure and let me know the specs on your wheels also ie what diameter they are.  Still deciding on that also.

Thanks,
Will

All factory pickups with 8" wide ralley wheels use 4" backspacing if you need a reference.

You can fit 275/60/15's on the front with 3" and it won't rub.  For the back it depends on if you want it as tall as the front?

How can I tell if my ralleys on my 86 are 8" or 7" wide? They appear to be factory.
