I see from your other post you've got a 95, and if you have a 4x4, your stock backspacing is going to be 6'. Bolt pattern is 5x4.75.

What looks good is all up to you I went with only 4.5' of backspacing because I like the wider stance. Search for backspacing or rims or something like that and find lots of info on the pros/cons of different backspacing amounts.

Well the backspacing is 4.5', which is 1.5' less than stock on each side, so that's 3' wider...then my rims are 15x8 which is 1' wider than stock, and with my rims minimal offset, that should equal out to another .5' wider on each side. All in all, ~2' wider on each side, or 4' wider from total.

Remember exposed tread laws...some states will require you to have fender flares for the wider stance, which adds a signifcant cost on if you have a 4-door or non-z 2-door.

There is no tread law in NC, that's correct Where in NC are you? I'm in Raleigh!

And yea that rim will fit. Pretty much the same specs as the ones I have. But I would suggest going with Pro Comp over Cragar...I've seen a few bent cragars. Pay a few dollars more, get a better rim!

265/70/15s convert to be 30x10.50s. But the General Grabber AT2s work out to have actual dimensions of 30.4x10.7...so I like 'em
