I don't think there is a thread like this...but I wanted to make a thread with info on everyone's wheels. (1/2 ton, 3/4 ton, 1 ton)

Its a common question for people to ask what BS/OS they should get for there truck and how far they will stick out or if they will rub.

So post up what you have (pics are welcome)

Year and model
4x4 or 4x2
Lifted or Slammed
Size and type of wheel
Type of Tire and Size
Back Spacing
Off Set
Do they rub

I will start

2005 2500
4x4
5" lift
17x9 Mickey Thompson Sidebiters
35x12.50 Fierce Attitude Tire
5" Back Spacing
0 Off set
No rub

This is a good idea for a thread for sure. I still didn't receive an answer as to if a levelling kit would work with a wheel that has 1 offset 4.50 backspacing, with 35x12.50 if anyone could help that'd be great??

Great idea for a thread, love the wide stance of your truck shroeder. Looks really good.

For those looking to see how much they do or don't stick out, this picture kind of shows it. I didn't want them to stick out very much.
