tire/ rim question
« on: 08/18/10 - 07:39AM »
how wide of a wheel spacer will i need, to run 33x12.50 tires on this stock rim?


i have 33x10.50s now. i have my steering stops adjusted. i want the minimum amount of spacer, but i would like to gain some of my turning radius back.

Not that I know of.  It causes crowning and tires to wear faster in the center.  Plus by adding your spacers you are widening your track width and not gaining much in radius.

A common backspacing that people run seems to be 4".  I believe stock wheels are 5.25".  1.25" should be what you need.
