I want my Tires to STICK OUT!! What Back spacing?

I just got my autospring 2.5" kit put on today, and I ordered some Nitto 325/60/18 Tires. The rims I want are these:


They are 4.5" back spacing with -24mm offset. Size is 18X10.

How much will these stick out? I want a really aggressive look, so I want them to stick out, but not WAY out.

Can anyone please post pics of their trucks if you have wheels that stick out.

Thanks Guys.

Those wheels will stick out 3.5 inches further then the stock 18" wheels. Might be a bit much, maybe not. I'd check out some fender flares though if you plan on doing any wheel'n cause you'll tear up your paint with all the mud and such gettin thrown up the sides of the truck. Nice choice in wheels, they look great, how much and where did you find them

With the tires sticking out that much you will have to look into fender flares of some sort. Johnny law says it's illegal to have wheels that stick out past the factory wheel well.

Looks like they are Eagle Alloys Series 064. They sure are sweet looking. When you get the tires and wheels on your truck, post some pics. I bet they'll look really sweet on your truck.

Ok guys, thanks for the replies. I'll try and answer some Q's.

The wheels are Eagle alloy series 064.

Serge - I got my autospring installed at Denrey Tire on Dugald Rd. They charged me a total of $200 for install and alignment. I got the wheel qoute from Winnipeg wheel works. They told me $300 per wheel, but the wheels are on back order so it may take 2 - 6 weeks to get them.

Screw4by4 - I don't do any offroading so I'm not worried about scratching the paint. I may look into flares, but I like the truck without them.

Those prices are american though, so I would probally end up paying more than locally after it is all said and done.

I've heard that wide tires are terriable in the snow and ice. The M/T's would be good in fresh snow, or wet snow, but on icy roads I've heard they are brutal.

I'm gonna run my stock tires (275/65/18) for the winter.

Well today I ordered my wheels, but I didn't end up going with the Eagle alloy series 064. The guy at the wheel shop said they would stick out 3 - 4 inches!

I ended up buying Eagle alloy series 178 in 18X9 chrome. These should still stick out, but not nearly as much as the others.

I ended up paying $285 Canadian per wheel.

When the wheels and tires are installed I will post pics.

Here's what your set up will look like (Eagle 178 18x9, Nitto TG 325/60R18).

They stick out even with the running boards and give an awesome wide stance. I love em!
