2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission 01 Wheel Backspacing questions.

[Cummins Pilot]

I want to put a set of 16x10 aluminum wheels under my truck. Currently I'm running the stock rims with 315x75r16 BFgoodrich Mudterrains (does not hit due to the edges on the control arms for the axel being grounded off). Does anyone know the correct back spacing?



Thanks

The correct backspacing would be the same as stock. However, noone makes that particular setup for our trucks.



A buddy of mine has 16x10s on his '01 and has no problems. I had the same wheel on my '02, and even with 4. 5" lift, it still hit the rear of the fender.



My pick would be 9" wheels with 5" of backspace. They look good, fit right and don't seem to hit. The 18" wheel size seems to have more tire options than the 17" size.



If you can get the 16x10s to work, go for it. It seems to be "hit and miss" depending on the truck.
