Need a Spot
Newbie here! I have an 87 Raider 2dr that I won in an arm wrestling contest. Not really bragging, the guy was 72 and didn't want it anymore. The 2.6 runs about as much as a stock 2.6 can. I'm going to keep the motor, but will be doing some performance upgrades as time and money allow. I've searched, but can't find anything on wheels. I'm going to run 33x11.50x16 Gateway Buckshot Mudders. Lots of choices for 16", 6x5.5 wheels, but I don't know a thing about the back spacing. Can anybody tell me what I need to be looking for?

Loads of info on here for wheels and tire combos. Don't tell any of the Mods <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" /> but i have found it easier to search thru google and just include 4x4Wire in the query.

Thanks! Google is what lead me to this forum. I did quite a bit of Googling too. It just made me realize how poor I am and how long it's gonna take until I get this machine looking and running the way I want.

Otherwise, just ask: 3.5" to 4" of backspacing on an 8" rim would be swell.

LOL, you know there's a Google hosted search at the top of this page right? I guess not. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/nana.gif" alt="" />

Sorry I couldn't resist.
