BFG'S And Wheels

[oilrunner]

Just ordered a 2004. 5 2500 Q/C, 4. 10 diff. , 600 diesel and want to install BFG's 315-70R17. Trying to locate a few brands of wheels to select from with the proper back spacing, so they don't stick out of the wheel wells too far. Don't need a bunch of rock chips on my new rig. Anyone know what the back spacing should be? Thanks,

Tman

DF5152,



Not to get off the topic, but what series A. R. E. cap do you have? How do you like it and did you get it at J&J?

I purchased my A. R. E. MX cap for my 99 Tacoma at J & J, I think it ran $1,300 with extras like roof rack etc. Good quality, make sure you get fabric lining to keep down moisture...



Not getting a cap for my 2500, lose too much versatility with cap on for hauling stuff, and once it's on not easy to get off.



Waiting for my slide in camper to get in.
