Default 3.75 backspace on 30x950's?

would 3.75" bs work for a 9.50"wide tire. planning on going to 32x1150's soon so would this bs work for both sets of tires.

i rub on the LCA on stock rims/bs.

Thanks,
Josh

i had the overall guess that it would since bs just determines how far the tires stick out. its not gonna look goofy right?

I like the look of tires sticking out, but your BS is only .25 inch less then mine (which means they stick out .25 inches more then mine) and I think it will look great. It won't be to bad, I'm sure your flares will still cover it.

Looks are as they say in the eye of the beholder. In other words something I think looks good may look like crap to you. I don't like wasting my time cleaning mud off of my rigs all the time. I like the tires covered so I don't get mud everywhere.

Yea but I doubt his tires will stick out very much if at all with 9.5's

3.75" BS on 15x8 wheels. Yeah, I have 10.5" wide tires, but this is pretty much what you'll wind up with.

Actually, I was commenting mostly on him asking if it would look goofy. I think some guys spend to much time worrying about what others think of their rigs.

You rub with 30x9.50's? I have 235/75/15 which is like 28.9x9.3... and I have a full inch at full turn until my tires would get close to my LCA. stock rims.

Future reference, this is what the final product looks like.
