Nice, Looks good. How do you like those tires?

Someone teach me about backspacing???? I thought backspacing made them stick out. Those don't look to be sticking out much?

 

[edgerat]

you have offset (the bigger the number the more they stick out) and you have backspacing (the bigger the number the more they tuck in) Stock 2nd aluminum wheels had 6. 25" of backspace on them for a 8" wide wheel. These are 6" backspace on an 8. 5" wheel. You cant really run a true 35" tire with a leveling kit without the correct backspace, or at least as close to OEM as you can get. The Toyo MT in the correct load rating is a great tire it is the quietest mud terrain tire I have ever owned and when you go from a Baja Claw(not my choice they were on the truck when I bought it) that is SOLID and bone-jarring to the Toyo it is a night and day difference.

what size tire and lift are on your truck?

Don't want to be a bearer of bad news, but if those are 35" tires they will rub on the lower control arm. I have the same(it appears) lift kit and with 35's and stock wheels they rubbed on the control arm, but not the body. Other than that, good luck.

thanks for trying to rain on my parade but I already covered that when I bought a wheel with 6" of backspace fella. They are 35's and they dont even come close to the control arm at full lock. A little research before buying always helps get rid of headaches. Right now the truck has a 2. 5" skyjacker system on it and that is a 35x12. 5x17 Toyo MT
