Anyone running 4.5" backspacing with D60/14B?

[Blazer79]

I'm currently running 3.5" backspacing(front) and 3" backspacing (rear) on some old wheels with homemade beadlocks on my D60/14B, but they are 16.5" rim. I need new tires and I'm going 17"s (40" ProComps). The vast majority of 8 on 6.5" wheels I can find come with 4.5" backspacing and most are too modern for our old trucks.

So far I've only found the New Vision 398BL come in 3.5" backspacing:

I'd rather have these Enigma 9313 by Dirty Life but are only available in 4.5" backspacing:

Anyone running these?

Anyone running 4.5" backspacing that can comment on any rubbing or looks?

I have 16x8s with 4.5” backspacing..they sit right at the edge of the fender. Mine are just black steel tho

Cant speak from experience, but some folks run h2 wheels, which have 5.5bs. If those dont rub, then you’d be in the clear.

Not that you probably want to, but you could do 4.5bs with 1” spacer, to put you back at 3.5” bs

I’m running pro comp wheels on mine.

My old Weld wheels had 4.5” backspacing. Here’s a pic of them, 14.50 wide Swampers on 16.5x12 Welds.

Both of my rides have 4.5" but are 8" wide. (blue crew cab is long gone unfortunately)

This is the best size wheels for squares IMHO.

No 60 but 14 bolt rear, 37's with 4.5 backspacing. 10 bolt front and rear was tubbed.

Wow that looks amazing! They look great because those are 12" wide so 4.5" backspacing still allows for a lot of lip. On a 9" wheel (which is what I've found) BS is at the middle of the wheel. Did you custom order them?

Thanks. No, they were old Weld wheels (discontinued 20 years ago).

You will see that the most common backspace is 4.5-4.75 and yes it works fine.
I ran it on multiple vehicles

I guess I should attach pic
