im not sure what the stock wheel backspace is but i think it it around 5.5in. i just tried yesterday to put a set of 8x16 on mine with a 4 or 4.5 backspace and 265/75/16 toyo m/t's and they rubbed bad. they put a set of 245/75/16 today and said that they cleared but i havent got to see it yet

backspacing is the distance from the mounting flange of the wheel to the very inside edge of the wheel.
