Subject: Back Spacing?
IP: Logged

Message:
I plan on going with a 3" BL and 32" tires because I know they'll fit. I also want to buy some rims too and I'm wondering what the backspacing would be needed to fit the 32's without the lift and just tweaking the Torsion Bars first. Or will that even work? Help would be very appreciated. Thanks

In reality you should be able to run 32's on stock rims and just crank the Torsion bars. Do not go to custom rims with less back spacing or you will rub.

If you wheel it you may rub at full flex some but not enough to worry about it. A little frame rub at full turn wont hurt either just be aware of it.

The reason why you will rub if you go to 3.5" of BS is because you have changed the arch of the tire in the wheel well. You will only solve the frame rub issue but make a worse issue with a fender rub. Frame rub is very minimal and not a problem.

You can prolly find some somewhere but not that you like.

IF you go custom you should try and stay as close to stock as possible.
