Lowering 3/4, wider tires and Wheels Backspacing
Hi Guys. I am looking to install a Belltech 3 / 4 inch drop on my truck. I am also looking at changing the wheels and tires. I want to keep everything inside the fenders.
I currently have a set of 16x7 factory steelies with 5" backspacing and 265/70 16 tires (30.6 x 10.6). I am looking to go with a set of Stockon Rally Wheels at 16x8 and 285/70 16 tires (31.7 x 11.22).
Question is should I go with 5.5" backspacing to keep factory offset or 6" backspacing to push it all inward. What will work best with the drop?
I don't want any rubbing at all.
Thanks, Jeff
