Topic: hey all, couple questions about wheels and lifts

[4wdToyotaPickup]

I'm looking at some wheels from pro comp 15x8 (Rock Crawler Series 97) but i'm not sure which backspacing to get. There is one with a 4.5in and 3.75in. The tires I have now are pro comp xtreme a/t (31/10.50/15) on some wheels my buddy gave me. Will one of these backspacings stop any rubbing? b/c whichever one I have now when the wheel is turned all the way it hits the edge of the mud flaps.

Also, I'm wanting to do just a little lift like an Inch or 2. What would be my best way of going about that?


Thanks

First off, the year and model of your truck would help.

As for a small lift, a body lift would be inexpensive and very effective, and very easy to install. There is a very good write-up about an install on this board.

changing backspacing may or may not stop any rub..... if you take away on the outside, it might rub on the inside

If you are running 31's just get shackles that should be enough. If you have an IFS front then just get shackles for the rear and crank you torsion bars in to match on the front.

You want the 3.75's. Anything between about 3.25 and 3.75 is what you want for a Toyota

Thanks for the input, i'll check out that write up about a body lift.

3.50" on mine,83 SFA, 31" Bfg AT's no rubbing stock springs, I wish someone made a 2" spring to replace stockers and level it a bit. Downey is as close as I can find but at 3" it sits pretty high. Can't afford custom springs at the moment.

Old Man Emu (OME) makes a 2 inch front (and rear for that matter) spring

Measure your current wheels to see what the backspaceing is.

I had a 95 runner that i put a 2 inch body lift on and ran 33's and i think my backspacing was 3.50 and i didn't rub at all

how about with 17' wheels. I have been trying to locate some with just 3 3/4' backspacing but can only find 4+ ". I like to have 17x9's but just can't find any that i like without going to like some walker evens wheels. I HAVE A SAS '94 AND WOULD LIKE TO RUN 17X9 WITH 35'S ANY IDEAS  WHAT BACKSPACING FOR 17" WHEELS WILL WORK
