Wider is better...
« on: April 29, 2007, 09:53:50 AM »
Well they aren't powder coated yet and I don't have the tires yet but I just couldn't wait.  Yesterday I took off one of my tires and bolted up the bare 15 x 8 wheel that I have just to see how it is going to look.  Wow!!  With just 2.5" BS it really will add some width to the little guy.  Here are a couple of pictures for comparison.  I can't wait to get some 32" tires mounted up on these bad boys.

yeah, your tires will definitely stick out. ive got 3.25" backspacing with 1" wheel spacers, and almost half my tire sticks out.  ;D

Looks awesome!
How much do you have it lifted?
Are you going to have to cut the fenders much to accomodate the tires at full articulation?

dam its gonna be out there alot...Police would definitely frown upon those wheels around my area with out fender flares but im sure you will get some...Simple question for everyone on this forum. I have 15x7 wheels on my Tracker not factory idk what size factory are but they stick out about an inch or two. How can you measure the backspace that are on the wheels because i have no idea since i got my Tracker with the wheels and tires already on it. I just would like to know out of curiosity i tried looking for them online but couldnt find them anywhere. My tires are 235/75 just in case you wanted to know

Back spacing is pretty easy to figure out.  Take off one of your wheels.  Lay it face down and place a straight edge across the wheel, not the tire.  Measure down to the hub surface.  This is your backspacing.

Let us know what you find.

Alright cool thanks. I guess when i get my coil spacers in here in a few days that would be a good time to do it.
