Looking at geeting new wheels, probably a 7" wheel. Is 4" the route to go?

 

I run 32x11.50x15 on 3.75 back spacing no rubbing on control arms

 

I'm thinking of going between a 31-32 (Specifically 245/75/16, then eventually a 265/75/16) on a 16" rim. I have a 3" lift and would like "NOT" to take off my fender flares and cut, but if I have to, I will. Just hoping they tuck enough. Found a decent deal on the 245/75's, so that's why I'm thinking 16's now instead of the 15's. I have an order through treadwright right now for some 31/10.5/15's, but they are taking forever.

 

Most run 3.75, 4 and 4.5. 4 inch is a good bs. The lower the number backspacing the farther they will stick out

 

3.75. I have a 3" lift and i had to trim my front bumper end caps and need to trim rear bumper end cap with 31" tires. So far flares are fine but ive never disco my sway bar so not sure if theyll hit then.

 

I'm running 32's on my 7 inch wide wheels with my 4.5 inch lift. They are the Eagle Alloy's #058. They have 4.0 BS I tuck them all the time. I've popped off the front flares a few times but never did any damage with them. When I did it was trying to do wheel stands or 3 wheeling. I highly doubt without serious bumpstopping or fender cutting that you'd be able to tuck the tires with the 3 inch lift. Here's how mine tucks now.

 

Thanks for the pic and the input. So, Treadwright called today, they states all my tires are coming today. Perfect timing since I was about to cancel my order.

So, now new question, or would it matter? Should I get 15x7, or 15x8's? I'm leaning towards the 15x8 for future upgrade possibilities. Now, what backspacing? If I get the 15x8, will 4.75 be good (15x7 and 4.25?)?

 

I run 3.5" BS,, perfect for my setup. I would go with 3.75" or 4" on an 8" wheel.

 

I have like 15x8 wheels with 33"x12.5"x15" tsl's 4.5" lift and like 3" of BS and my fenders sit on the midline of my tire.

 

Well, it looks like 15x8's, either 4.00" or 4.75". I will be flexing a bit, will I be able to flex with the 4.00"

 

Alright guys, about to hit the order button. Final call, 4" or 4.75" BS for 15x8's with 31x10.5/15's, 3" lift?

 

4 or less you dont want more youll rub control arms do not get more then 4"

 

I would say 4.75 but that's just my opinion

 

I went with the 4" BS. I figure this way if I ever go bigger/taller, I can utilize these wheels instead of having to buy new ones. Plus it may make the truck look a little tougher. Thanks for your help guys.

 

The wheels will stick out past the fenders
