i want to get a set of either pro comp rock crawlers or american racing black steel wheels but i am un sure of what backspacing to get--i want more than stock but still be able to stuff them wheels when needed without having to trim anything--i'm running 265's with belltech shackles and t-bar crank--any help greatly appreciated!!

My credo
"220, 221, whatever it takes."
Assuming you want to keep your 16" tires, the 16" rims with the least backspacing I've found are Pro Comp 1069's/1089's. 16x8 with 4" backspace. A lot of 16x8 rims have 4.5" or more which I can almost guarantee wiill rub on the inside.

Stock 16" wheels are 4.5" BS

Yeah, 4" BS wheel should work fine. :icon_thumby:
