Wheel Backspace

im going to be buying a set of series 51 wheels within the next week now. I still do not know if i should go with the 3.75 or the 4.5" backspace. does anyone have pictures of a 4x4 blazer/jimmy with 3.75" backspace? thanks

RE: Wheel Backspace

Get the 4.5" bs, your front end will thank you for it more than with 3.75" bs. Unless you really like replacing front end parts, that is.

I run 3.75 on a 10 inch wide wheel, no rubbing issues

RE: Wheel Backspace

I rub 30x10.50s with a 2' BL and the tbar crank+shackles, and I trimmed the fenders. I've got the 4.5' backspacing. 4.5' made my steering start groaning after a few hundred miles. Threw in some lucas steering fix. But with 3.75..it'll be worse. And you'll look like a frog, instead of just a wider stance :D
