Ok, first is it just me or does the search feature bring up a LOT of stuff that isnt related to the phrase searched?

Anywho
I have a chance to buy 15x8 wheels for my 93 rodeo, the back spacing is 3.75" I THOUGHT my stockers were 3.25?

1) Is that the correct # for the stocker backspacing
and
2) Are these wheels gonna fit if I purchase them? Or should I skip on them?

Sorry, i know its a dumb question, just dont want to end up with something that wont work out for me

To measure your backspacing just get 2 rulers. One to measure the depth, the other to act as a reference point. (so you can make a perpendicular angle)

I run 3.75" backspacing on my truck with 12.5" tires and they stick out in the back 1-2". The front is even for some reason (maybe due to the fact its lifted high)

Tell us more about what phrases you are searching and the exact context. You'll get different sets of results with "bugger mump marmot tires" and bugger "mump marmot" tires (grouping with quotes), bugger mump +marmot tires (requires 'marmot'), and bugger mump marmot tires (no grouping, no order, returns each post with ANY of these words).

Also, some subjects like tires have been hashed so many times that it is really hard to get good search results even with well-chosen search criteria. Tell us more about what you'd like to find out and maybe someone can suggest better search criteria for you or provide direct links from their own searches...
Anywho

FWIW, on your original question, your 93 Rodeo is pretty flexible for backspacing... that's a small variance you mention, so if the wheels are the right price, IMHO, that's close enough for size. Buy 'em!

Getting the Wheeling Fever
I am running 31-10.5 on my 96 rodeo. I have the back lifted up 1.5 inches and the front is stock. I did chop 2" off the front fender and bumper all the way around and reworked the interior of the fender. The wheels are 15x8 with 3.75 backspacing and the correct bolt pattern. in other word they will fit. You might have to do a little trimming. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
