I tried searching this a 100 different ways as im sure its been covered. I have 31x10.5x15 tires now on the stock wheels. The truck looks awfully tall and skinny. I want to some wider wheels im assuming 15x8, but im lost when it comes to backspacing and offset. I plan to upgrade to a 33in tires in the future and would like a wheel i can use with a bigger tire as well. My truck is the bottom of the line with no fender flares and I dont plan to go there. I do want the tire to stick out some. I plan to just get some cheap black wheels from summit or something. Offset/backspace suggestions needed! (maybe some pictures) Thank you!

Hi Robb,

For reference there are a couple of pics of my maroon '97 LS with 32s here and here. The rims are 15x8 with 3.75" backspacing. The tires stick out a bit, which me likey. check it out and see if that's what you want. Good luck.

Thanks for the post, thats about exactly what I am looking for, is this the backspacing most people are running?

I think so, but I suspect there are all kinds of combinations running out there. Although I think ChrisJ said he was running 4"BS. His Raider is in the same thread. PM him to make sure.

OK, I think I am going to go with this wheel from Summit:

I only have the options of a 4 inch backspace and a 4.75 inch back space. How will the 4 inch backspace compare to your 3.75 inch back space, will this stick out farther, or sit in the wheel well more?

Here are the specs:
Rim Diameter (in): 15 in.
Rim Width (in): 8.00 in.
Backspacing (in): 4.000 in.
Offset (mm): -12.00mm
6 x 5.5 in bolt pattern

That's the same wheel I'm running on my Gen I. It will be in the wheel well farther by 1/4". I think you'll like them, though because they'll stick out ~3/4" over stock.

HTH

I have these wheels on my GenII 1991 JDM Pajero. they are Identical even down to the centre cap, and im sure they are way cheaper too. I have 16X8.

Where did you get those? The wheels from summit are 36.99 each.

Unique is made by the same maker for Crager rims IIRC.

well then that would explain why they are are the identical rim then haha.
