I know the stock wheel backspacing only allows for about 11.5" wide tires on coil over front end 4x4 3rd Gens so I can't see 4th Gens having enough room. 4.5" of backspacing or less is what's needed for them to clear...

I have heard that 12.5 is the biggest I could go with out new wheels. But iwanted to ask on the fourms first. How big of wheel spacers do I need to make this happen with stock 17" rims?
