As you can tell i'm new to the forum here and i just have some general questions concerning wheel spacers and rim backspacing. Im planning on getting some 15 inch Cragar steelies. They say the back spacing is 4inches. What does this mean? if i put them on 32/11.50/15r BFG's do i need wheel spacers? and if so what size would i need?

 

backspace is the distance from the wheel mounting surface (the part that goes up against the rotor) to the edge of the rim.

You'll be fine with 4" B.S.

 

It would depend on your lift and whether your LCAs are stock. Also whether you want full clearance or if you're willing to adjust your steering stops and call it day.

 

So with 4inch backspacing i wont need to run wheel spacers at all? il be fine when turing i wont rub or anything? I will be putting on a 4.5 inch lift soon tho

 

No need to add spacers now.

IF you do ed up with a little rubbing you can always add a set.

For now...save your coin.

 

thanks man. Il probably be posting about control arm drop kits soon haha
