I apologize, this is probably a common question but I'm not satisfied with what I found while searching.
I'm looking at 15x8 Soft 8's for my Ranger. I want to get the look right so I'm fixating on wheel back spacing. I want to get the rim/tire combo right at the fenders edge, or as close as I can, while keeping the tread inside the fender when looking down from the top.
After the lift and gears I'm planning on running 33x9.50's. I like narrow tires in the snow. Until then I'll run the stock 235/75's. My local shop can only get Soft 8's in 3.75" back spacing. I think they'll stick out beyond the fenders. I've found 4" and 4.75" back spaced Soft 8's on line.
I see others recommend the 3.75" back spacing, do they stick out? If I go with the 4" will I get any rubbing on turns?
Thanks
