I looked at some Kia Sprotage wheels at the junk yard last Sat. they are 6 1/2" wide, but have a about a 4 1/2" back spaceing & was looking to see if anyone has used them with 235/75 R15. I have a 98 Tracker 4dr. W/O a lift for now & would like to know if they will rub with that large if a offset on the wheel??
-
no they dont rub i have 89 tracker with 33 x 14.5x 15 on mine with 8'' of back space so u r fine
-
How big of a lift do you have..... any pictures??
-
Come on 8 inches of back space and not hitting ? your smoken what ?
-
i have 3'' body n 3'' spen n for a pic look at pro pic
-
Ya.... but I don't have a lift right now, so your clearance with a 6" lift really doesn't tell me if they will clear a stock height. Ooooo & how do you get that 1.6 to turn 33" X 14.5" tires?
-
before i started building my tracker when it was stock i put 31 on it n they were on stock rims n only touched when i was turned all the way n when i stuffed them all the way in the back so u should b fine with a 235 on it
-
I'm getting major frame rub with stock wheels, 4 inch BS?, and that size tire. Had the same rub before the lift.

I gotta say I am very skepticle of this, I put 31's with 15x8-4"BS wheels on my Sidekick prior to doing my lift, just to get the tires out of the way, and they hit like a mofo on level terrain and required me to make a 42 point turn when pulling out of the garage to turn around and back in, stuffed there was ZERO turn radius, LOL
-
Thanks for the info.... I kinda though that back spacing was a little much, have to keep looking for some wheels with perhaps a 3- 3.5 BS
I can buy them new but don't want to pay $70.00+ for a wheel

You can find brand new steel wheels with the proper BS for 50$ each.

8" backspace or 8" wide wheel ??? Ive never even heard of a wheel with 8" backspacing and don't know of any truck that would even work on.
-
they r 10.5 wide n 8'' back space

Hmm, obviously you don't know where backspacing is measured from.
-
yes i do do u no
-
here is a pic
-
yes i do do u no
Backspacing is measured from the backside of the wheel, not shown in the picture, from the part of the wheel that contacts the hub to the outside wheel flange. If that wheel in the picture is 15x10.5 by the looks of it probably has a 2.5" backspacing. I'm sure the OP has got his answer, no use cluttering up his thread anymore.

just got back in town & checking my post..... thanks for all the input.
First off looking at the picture O2CALTACO is right you are measuring the frontset LOL not the backset, it would be a 8" backset if you turned the wheels around & mounted then on backwards, & yes they would definitely rub even with a 12" lift.... no pun intended everyone has a learning curve.
TALONXRACER.... I have been looking on line & even just plane old white spoke wheels are $60.00 or more let me know were your finding the $50.00 wheels at.
