I know this is a little OT, but what is the minimum backspacing required to run wider tires? my friend wants to grab a set of steelies for his raider but needs to know the required backspacing to run 33x12.5


I've run 33x12.5x15's on an 15x8" rim with a neutral offset (4" backspacing). You may get some rubbing (very slight) in back during full compression. You WILL need to trim your front bumper end caps or replace the bumper entirely to avoid rubbing there.

HTH.
