instead of 10x15....

I want to get the tires to stick out just a bit to get a beafier look, but I dont want to get 10x15 inch rims. What kind of backspacing would I need to get this effect. Im going to run either 33x10.5 or 33x12.5.

Also where could I find this custom backspacing? I like the black crawler rims.

Thanks.

10x15?!??!?!

i am glad you dont want a 10" tall rim and 15" wide ...

going with the fact you ment 15x10 wheel.. well look into a 15x8 with 3.25 back spacing... also if your not going to body lift or suspension get the 33x10.5 less rubbing issues even tho it looks like a pizza cutter...

a 15X8 rim with a 33X12.5 tire would be pretty good and be beefy but if you go any wider you'll need to step it up to 15X10.

You could always go with a 32x11.50, it's a little wider and less rubbing.

he is talking about body lifting in another thread so hopefully thats what he is getting at and if he wants to body lift go with 33x12.5

This was my Ranger several generations of mods back with 15x8 Mickey Thompsons with 3.25" backspacing and 31x10.5x15 tires.
