Default ordering new rims.... gotta question...

im getting ready to order my new rims for my truck,,, and im stuck with an issue.... i did do a search but couldn't find the answer,,, but if some one else already posted this please point me in that direction....

i have 305 70 r16's (like new) and i need to know what back spacing i would need so they dont rub my control arms... i really dont wanna do fender flares but if i have to i will,,, (rather not though)

if any one knows or has an idea of what i need thank you in advance....

Measure your current wheels, see what the backspacing is. Crank the wheels to the lock, and see how far you are going to need to move them out to get rid of the rub. Add that to your current BS, and take it from there.
