BackSpacing

[whitethunder]

hey so im putting a 6inch RCX on this weekend with 37s on my stock dodge 20x9s. Do i have to do anything for backspacing or will they fit?

You may want to run some spacers on that set-up.

How big of spacers?

You will need spacers for sure to run those tires on the stock wheels. How large of spacers you need depends on how wide of a stance you want the truck to have. And how much you feel like trimming off the inner fender liner. A 1" spacer will do the job but you can go wider if you want. Check out Motorsport Tech's BORA spacers. They're the only ones worth buying.

Unless RCX has recently changed something on their lift to give more clearance on the suspension side, no, you won't even be able to install the wheels/tires as they'll hit the upper A-arm.

Correct me if im wrong but the upper a arm is the upper control arm right? And its going into the shop tommorrow for the tires so if they dont fit i dont know what im gonna do. If they do end up fitting and i get an alignment done, when i put the spacers on will it mess the alignment up?

No wheels spacers have nothing to do with the alignment

Correct; it's actually an A-arm because of the shape. Companies seem to be mixing up that terminology lately. A control arm is just a single member with a mounting point on each end. An A-arm has two mounting points on the frame side, one on the steering knuckle side.

As said above, an alignment is completely independent from the wheel spacers. They won't affect a thing.

Well I went and got the tires on, and surprisingly they fit with no rub at all! I need an alignment though so we will find out forsure when that gets done
