Optimal Backspacing on Rockstar's?

Hello,

I been looking at
http://www.wheelfire.com/scontent/Wh...799&CheckFit=1

And I was wondering what the optimal backspacing on these would be?

I've been on contact with the seller, and he told me that he has

20" x 8.5, 6 on 135 Bolt Pattern, but he didnt mention the backspacing.

I emailed him and asked, but he has not responded yet.

I know this is like my 3rd topic on Backspacing, but what do you guys think is optimal?

I currently have the Stock 20's on, and Im going to upgrade to those Rockstars with Toyo M/T 33x12.50x20.


Anyone know what backspacing is best?

I have a 2" Autospring on the truck, by the way.

I think you would be okay with anything down to 4.5''. Your stock rims are the same width with 5.5'' bs. 4.5'' would mean it would stick out 2.25'' more than stock rims with 275's.

Optimal would probly be 5''

Well then whats my upmost limit?

Because I could get ones with 6.13 inch backspacing for $1000, whereas the other ones are $1100.

you are wearing me out!

I really doubt that the ones with 6.13'' bs would fit......probly would rub the control arm pretty good. Will have to wait and see what Wandell says for sure....

Just wondering :P

My current 20's are 5.5 BS right?

Perhaps that is best...

Well he told me he had the rims "in stock"

I would imagine that means he has them, but I will ask again

I think that 5.5 to 6 inches would be best.
