Wheel help needed
I'm looking to upgrade my wheels from 15's to something a little bigger, maybe 16's or 17's. I need help figuringout how much backspacing I need. Currently I have 15's with 3.75 backspacing on 33x12.50 with 6 inches of lift. I also have bushwhackers installed and like how far they currentlystick out. I want to go with 17's on 35 x12.50. I can only find the 17's that are 8.5 inches wide with 4.75 backspacing. Will these stick out far enough to look good with the bushwhacker or what sizes should I look for?
