2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission new wheel purchase. need to know off-set and lug sizing.

[kbond]

Hey gang,



I am about to purchase some new wheels and for some reason I cannot figure out the lug sizing.



Do the 2001 4x4 trucks have the 8 x 6 1/2 in. bolt circle or the 8x170mm?



Also for backspacing they offer this rim in a 4 3/4 inch backspacing and a 5 1/8. Which should I choose?



ps. the tires I am running are 37x12. 50x16. 5's



Thanks for the help.

The Dodge uses the 8 x 6-1/2 bolt pattern.

Also for backspacing they offer this rim in a 4 3/4 inch backspacing and a 5 1/8. Which should I choose?

I just put some 16 x 10 Welds on my truck, and I went with the 4-3/4 backspacing. I depends on the look you are going for, but I think the larger backspacing may cause the tires to rub on your control arms... I could have it backwards though. I have a 4. 5" lift with 315's and no rub.
