Backspacing is the distance from the back of the rim to the flat mounting service in the center of the rim. SO...less backspacing = wider stance ride.

alright yea just making sure. cuz thats what i thought the bigger the space the more the rims going to go in. i know how to measure it and it came out to 3 but it was really close to 4 but not quit so i dont think its going to make a huge differins. the only thing im kinda worryin is i rub allready and if i go with this 3 is it going to help or not with my rubbing.

I just noticed something that I was curious about. Why is your SN fla_blazer4x4 when you have a 2wd?
