wheel backspacing

[pmpinurgrl]

i just put a 3" body lift on my 99 sport and i would like to run some 33 12.50s with a 17" wheel. and i was wondern if anyone knows around what kinda backspacing i need on the wheels to either get no rub or so that i would have to do a minimal ammount of trimming. if thats not possible to do could i shakel the rear and tt the font to get the lil extra bit of space i need?? thanx every1

Welcome!

3.75 or 4" BS is usually best. 3.75 will clear your suspension better but will have more chance of causing rub on the fenders. However, fender rub is a lot easier to deal with than suspension rub.

You will need more than the 3" BL to fit 33x12.50s. You will need 2" of TT and shackle lift and trimming.

What wheels and tires are you planning on going with? I want to do the same setup on my GFs X. That would look pretty cool.

Yikes! 33's on a 17" rim = pricey.

Prolly look great though!!!
who makes 33's for a 17"???

Tirerack doesn't list any 33x12.5/17s. I would like to see what the combo looks like!! Have you already found tires?

And Welcome!!!

Nitto make some and I saw in this month's Petersen's that BFG's are coming out with 17" sizes.

Nitto has some 33s for 17s I think.
