I have a 99 f150 with a 3 inch body lift.

What comments/suggestion would you guys have about what backspacing i should run.

Looking at a 8 inch wide 16 inch diameter with 5 inch of backspacing.
Tires that I am looking at are Cooper Discoverer S/T 285/75 R16.

Thanks in advance

 

You want 4.5 or 5 inches of backspacing.

 

anyone else got some input?

 

i have cragar soft 8's with 5" bs, they rub my tie rod with the fabtech lift. i use a 1/4" spacer to correct this.

 

how does the location of your tierod compare to stock?

 

got my new wheels and tires put on today and the 5 inch backspacing worked out great.

Tires fit so much better than before. Think i could have easily went and inch or so bigger.
