Rims with next tire purchase?
I am currently running 285 75 16 on stock rims and am getting sick of rubbing all the time. I stopped in at discount tires to see what they got. I already know I'm getting Goodyear wrangler duratracs and that im sticking with the 285 height, and that I need 4.5 in backspace to stop the rubbing. This is where you guys come in do I want 16in or 17 in rims, I'm thinking about 9in wide rims, and I'm staying on the cheap side for rims as they will be on year round. I don't want black rims, any suggestion on brands of rims or any help would be great.

Stock backspacing is 4.5 inches..... if you are rubbing the control arms at full lock, you want a bit less backspacing. Trouble is, with wider wheels, you may just move your rubbing problem to some other area...... some folks have had success with re-forming the plastic inner fender, to give a bit more clearance....

Gonna vary with wheel design, and width..... not to mention tires.... wider tires are going to require less backspacing to avoid the control arms. If you are sticking with the same size tires, (dimension-wise....) See how much interference you are getting a full lock, and then adjust accordingly.....
