yup the smaller the number the more the tire will stick out. so the 4 inch backspacing will stick out more than the 5.5 or whatever the stock bs is

Keep in mind I'm running flats and they stick out A LOT further than normal flares.

Also I know on my Canyon stock wheels it's not recommended that you go bigger than a 10.50 width tire, I have 1.25" spacers all round which cost me about $110 off ebay and they've been great so far since July. If I were you I'd just get a set of new rims

Call and order rather than internet shop. May be able to get a cheaper shipping rate if you talk to them about it.

I bought wider wheels, not much price to spacers anyhow.
Price you see obviously dearer than the states.

the paint on soft 8s is very durable. i have silver soft 8s on it now till i put my 33's and new rims on. they still look great. i've had them for about a year.

5.25-5.5 bs is stock iirc.
the lower the number the more the rim sticks out. as said above.

so for you.. imo...if your goin with 32-33's i would do a 15x10 rim with 3.75" of bs. alot guys run that on a 15x8 rim. and thats fine. they do it for wheeling purposes. it will work. and its better for that purpose. so if thats you then i would run a 15x8 3.75.

where i live if you get caught on state property wheelin its a hefty fine.
hence the reasoning why i got the rims i got. the rims i got have a really nice deep dish look to them and i dig that. so ill be a mall crawler...lol

these are 15x8 with 4" bs
