Will Dead Link Removed fit my X? I am doing the JD lift next week and want to know if the offest, backspacing, etc. is correct.
If these wheels aren't, what is the correct backspacing, offset, etc. for my 93 X.
Thanks
Tim

Why do you think they wouldn't fit?
 






offset is all subjective... ask 100 different people what is good for your needs and you will likely get 100 different answers..... the best rim size in my opinion and many others on here is a 15x8 with 3.75" of backspacing with a 5 on 4.5 lug pattern....

those rims will physically fit on your truck with no problems, but you must also remeber rub is associated with the width and height of your tires as well
 






How does the 3.25" of backspacing on those wheels compare to stock 15x7 wheels? Will they stick out alot, can you give me a rough estimate?
 






no one knows this?
 






Hi Tim. Those Eagles are sweet looking rims. If you compare the -3/4" offset of the Eagles to the + 5/8" offset of the 7" wide stockers, you get a difference of 1 3/8" in the offset. Then add in 1/2" to compensate for the 1" wider rim, and you get a total of 1 7/8" that the wheel will stick out beyond that of the stock wheel.

This is approximate, but hopefully it gives you a place to start.
 






Thanks for the help, will it be harder to align the wheels if they stick out so much?
