85 Pickup rim backspacing
« on: Mar 20, 2009, 03:34:34 PM »
I just bought a 85 pickup and I am looking to get the Crager soft 8s for it. For right now I am probably going to run 31s and use it as my DD to build up my 4runner more. I am looking to what size backspacing on the 15x8 rim do I need to get. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!!

I ran 15x8's with 4" of backspacing with 31x10.50's and 33x12.50's and had it worked pretty good.  This was with no lift, to fit the 31's I beat the pinch weld back and to make the tires not rub (well cut actually), and to make the 33's fit I had to cut out the firewall to make them fit, but they rubbed the panhard arm slightly, not badly though and a .5" spacer probably would have fixed that.  Good luck with your truck.
