Hey All,

I am looking for new wheels for my '06 Ram Megacab 4x4. They are 8-Lug.

I am looking at the Moto Metal 951's. But I need help understanding backspacing.

I want the wheels/tires to sit as far as possible under the fenders. I don't really like the tires sitting 4" out of the fenders.

I have a leveling kit, so I can fit 35" tires. I am looking at the 20x10 -18 Offset Moto Metal 951's, that's 4 3/4" backspacing with BF Goodrich T/A KO's 285/55/20's.

Or the 18x9's -12 offset, thats 4 1/2" backspacing, but I know since the rim width is different, how far they will sit inside the wheel well's is different.

Can someone with insight on the whole backspace/offset thing chime in here...

Thanks,

to start off the tire size you are looking on getting are actually smaller then the stock tires so it might look a lil funny, unless it was a typo.. on backspacing not too sure i just oreder 17X9 with 4.75" backspacing withi think 0 offset, a friend of mine has the same rims but he leveled it and put on 35's. good luck

 

Sorry, I ment 285/65/20. 34.7" Tall.

Do the 17x9's with 4.75" backspacing stock out past the fenders?

Thanks,

mine looks like this with std rims (17") with 31570R17's

 

Looks like even the stockers stick out with wider tires..

I am suprised that the factory wheels/tires do sit right at the edge of the fenders. Most cars/trucks they are tucked a little under.

I had to put on mud flaps to save the paint.... and they don't totally work....

This is a good pic pre-flap...
