Would 4" backspacing be too much?

[Stic-o]

May have found wheels cheep but there 15x8 with 4" BS. I wanna run 33x12.5x15's

4" should be fine. As a reference, I've got 15x8's w/ 3.75" BS and running 1" spacers. The lugs will be right at the edge of the fender. . .just enought that you can talk your way into it being completel legal

Is $40 worth it though? I found some steel modulars. But there way up in San Jose. What it will cost in gas I could just go buy some I have to wait to here back on some tires. I also found so 33 MT's for $150 up in fresno which would make it worth the drive. But I don't got 150 right now Try'n to see if hell trade somethi'n.

Im running 4 1/2 back spacing, and works really good, I have 15x10 wheels.

if i do the TT will it affect my 3.75 bs on my 10.5 tires?

$40 for a set or per rim? I paid $45 a rim for my steel wheels new.

BTW, I just found one 15x8 steel rim (from when i had 31's ) in my garage if you need a 5th rim.

On the newer Exploders you can get away with more back spacing with the suspension design. You may rub the inner fender a little bit.

I have 4.5" bs but on a 17x10 rim and a SAS. The tires just touch the springs at full lock.

I have 15x8 4 5/8 here with no problems. It doesn't look that bad either.
