What are you working on 1500, 2500, 4x4, 2x4, washing machine? Please take the time to fill out your sig by clicking on the "user cp" in the black bar upper left side of the page.

That offset is going to be hard on the unit bearings if its a 4x4 1500.

Thanks for the info, I would not run that rim, I have 4.5 inch Back-spaceing and it puts the tires out 2.5 from the fender, 3" is going to put it way out there.

Thanks for filling out your sig Good luck with the sale/trade. Keep your eyes open for a set of rims with 4.5 backspace.
