Check out the new Black Rhino wheels!

These will sit out about 1.5" beyond the fenders (not counting the tire). They are really built for lifted applications.

I currently run 1.5" spacers, will these rims put my tires in about the same spot I am currently at if I remove the spacers?

Stock wheels are 7.5" wide with 6.5" backspace. With you're 1.5" spacers that's like having 7.5" wide wheels with 5" backspace.

9" wide wheels with 4.5" backspace will stick out 2" further than your current setup of 7.5" wheels with an effective bs of 5".

knappster,

My system shows your stock wheels are 7.5" wide with +44mm offset. This gives them a 6" backspace. Add your 1.5" spacers and you basically have a wheel that is 7.5" wide with a 6mm offset (4.5" backspace).

These wheels are 9" wide and have a -12mm offset (also 4.5" backspace). This means the back edge will sit the same as your current wheel/spacer sits but the front edge will stick out about 1.5" further.

Hope that doesn't sound as clear as mud.

doh, i had the backspace wrong... sorry.

They'll stick out 1.5" further like said above, not 2" like i posted.

I can live with that as long as they will still clear the back firewall.

I am working on wider front fenders and will have to see where that puts the back tires.

This will only work with a 4" lift, IMHO. A 4.5" bs will be too much for the 2" spacer lift, it'll rub like crazy at the pinch weld area. I was looking at 4.5"bs wheels before I purchased mine and realized it was a bad idea without the proper lift and fenders. I'm not saying it will not look good, just not very functional for offroad. Like I said, this is just my opinion.

To run these tire we understand that loosing the fenders and doing some chopping will be needed.

But, it would look oh so sweet!

Did you see the thread on tubed wheel flares. Sounds like doc is going to whip some out. Step one inprogress

I talked to Doc about these this rims this morning and we would have to cut the firewall back in order to get a tire larger than 32" in there for these rims, not something I am willing to do.
