I was looking around and if I ever want to do the calmini suspension lift I would need 2" - 2.5" backspacing.  So I hope Rocky Road will let me change things up a bit.  Any one ever deal with them are they pretty easy to work with.

For backspacing, I like around 3.5"-3-3/4" or so. Seems to clear really nicely and still tucks in the wheel wells on turns and full stuff...

i run the older style cooper stt's, they work well off road, ride smooth on road but are very noisy after 30km/hr, my little truck rattles from them at 10-20km/hr in town..  can't complain about them other than the noise.  people tell me they can hear me coming from a long way away and would expect a big truck to be coming..  lol anyway i'm sure the newer stt's are even better!

General also makes a BFG AT knock off. I just got a set for my X-90 (in 235) love them
thicker sidewall than the BFG's too. (that is the one issue I have with BFG's is the thin sidewall)
and alot cheaper.

What is the stock backspacing on the sidekick rims. 
Here is the link to the rims I got. 

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8069900993

Will these rims be ok?

If Not,
I might be able to call rocky road outfitters and work something out.  What back spacing should I go with. 


Yikes, those are for jeeps.  The bolt pattern and the backspacing are wrong.  $60 is a steal for four wheels, not sure if they will let you switch up the wheels for something else.

I have always had good luck with Mud King Steel Radial tires. They wear great, ride smooth for a mud tire. That and they will get you where you want to go. (The Mud)

Yeah I saw that price got excited and mixed my numbers.  But I talk to the owner and since they have not been shipped yet I can pay the extra and get what I need. I think im gonna get 15x7 with 2.5 or 3" of backspace.

I heard that 235/75/15 gives you more ground clearance than 30x9.5.  Is that true?

235's are only about 29inches, 30's are a little taller = MORE clearance.

Every tire maker lists their sizes by different criteria. Both my 31-10.50x15 BFG AT's and my 31-9.50x15 TSL Swamper Radials measure only around 30" tall actual when mounted on the rims...

Hey Digger,

If I slap your new coilspacer kit in and my 3" body lift what do u ponder is the biggest tire I can fit with no rubbing and no cutting.  Oh and on 15x7 rims with 2.75-3.00 bs

My 2" spacer lift, a 3" body lift, 15x7" rims with 2.75-3" of backspacing? 31's should go on with no rubbing at all, no cutting and 32's might rub a little with no cutting. I would suggest 3.75" or so of backspacing instead of 2.75" though. 32's would probably clear nicely with 15x7 rims with 3.75" of backspacing... If you stick with less backspacing like 2.75", the tires will stick out further from the fenders, will throw more muck and rocks up the sides of the body,  and will rub the back edge of the front wheel wells as well as possibly the front edge of the rear wheel wells and the rear fender lip on full stuff...

235's are only about 29inches, 30's are a little taller = MORE clearance.

x2 - though... we're only talking the difference of 1/2 an inch of clearance between the two. They're basically the same tire - the 235's tend to be cheaper since a lot of mid-sized trucks use that size from the factory.
