Help. Need Back Spacing Examples

[mattrains]

I'm so close to finishing the build on my K5 but i'm trying to order wheels and need some visual help. I've got 6" lift on an 86 K5. The tires are 38.5x13.5R17 Tires. Wheels will be 17x8.5 TrailReady bead locks.

If you're running 35-39s and you know the width of your wheel along with the back spacing PLEASE help me and post a picture. Thanks!

Just put these on yesterday. Method 105, 17x8.5 with 4.75 back space. Tires are 37x12.5. Rear is stock height and front has 1" zero rate

The pictures are really small? Anything I can do to blow them up, I clicked and it opened an error page? Thanks for the help.

They are uploaded directly to ck5. I have no idea why they wouldn't work for you, they work on this side. Try clicking these

he's not a premium member so he can't see them.

Most run a 3.5-4" BS on a 8.5" rim. My H2's are right at 4" with the spacers.

I have some 37x12.50s my backspacing ended up at 3.5 " puts my tire just barely wider than the body. I had to use spacers to get it there.

Some careful measurements will get you an idea but to get it just exactly like you want you often have to use wheel spacers

Ah didn't think about that.

I hosted them third party so they can be seen now

I only host here on ck5 so you probably cant see them.

I would do 3.5... I run 37x13.50s and rub my drag link on 4.5 inches of backspace on a 9 wide

I am running 37-12.50-16.5 tires on hummv recentered to 3.5" backspacing. Not much of a picture.

17x9, 4.75 with 41.5x13.5. Lighting sucks, but was testing flex/clearance.

 

[blazinzuk]

Sticks out almost the same on the front.

I have a wider rear axle.

Sticks out almost the same on the front.

I have a wide rear.
