I have seen many trucks on this website where the tires stick out just a little. I was wondering how you do that if you are going to use stock rims. Thanks for your help!!

 

You can't. You need aftermarket wheels with less than 5.5" backspacing and/or greater than 7.5" width. The look you're referring to usually comes form a combination of the two. A 9" wide wheel with 4.5" backspacing will stick out 2.5" farther than your stock wheels.

 

Exactly.

 

Is backspacing bad for the truck in any way?

 

Backspacing is just a measurement. It's the distance from the mounting surface of the wheel (where it bolts to the hub) to it's rear lip.

 

Thanks I added a new thread Wandell and would love your input. You are the tire man here and I have NO idea about sizes etc..

 

Tires sticking too far out the wheelwells will destroy the sides of your truck if you go down any gravel road's. Also I find keeping the tires and wheels tucked in the wheelwells keep's them closer to the suspension and gives a little better control over the vehicle. Just my 2 cent's!
