Default Wheel backspacing

Does anybody know of any wheels that have 3 inch or less backspacing in the 5 x 5.5 bolt pattern? I have looked all over and cant find any. I really want a black 8 hole wheel

Are you looking for something like this?

If so, they have all the way down to a 2.5" backspaced wheel. The only thing is it is sometimes hit and miss what sizes they come in.


Another option is just to run spacers. I got some high quality ones for my truck, so I could run 8 lug wheels on my 1500 while spacing the 4.5" backspaced wheels out another 1.5".

Eaton makes the best steelies, at a slightly higher price. they are all made to order, so you can tell them what you want and they will build it. I tend to find the best prices for 4x4 stuff at www.ntwonline.com

Yeah those are exactly what i was looking at but they dont make them in a 16x8 or 16x10. The least backspacing they make in the 5x5.5 is 4 inches.

I also looked at those adapters for the 8 lug but i dont have the cash for 300 bucks worth of adapters and another 4-500 for wheels. Then tires....etc
