Alright, ive been planin on puting some ATs on my X for a while, but im waiting as moneys been tight lately.
In the mean time ive been browsing around at options for a set of 16x8 wheels to put some 32s on. I know i can do a 265/70/17 on stock rims, but the stock rims are prety deep into the well, so i figure that theres some room to play with to bring the tire out closer to being even with the top of the fender flare.
Does anyone know, or have an idea what kind of backspacing i can do before im sticking out further than the fender?
 






No, but what are you going to do w/ your oem 17" wheels?
 






You will probably want 4" of back spacing.
 






The least amount of backspacing (that I've seen) on a 16x8 is 4" on the Pro Comp 1069 wheel. Most 16x8's have 4.5" backspace.
