backspacing--i'm lost!!

[04edge]

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!!

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.

thanks for the info--what is the stock backspacing??

Stock 16" wheels are 4.5" BS

Yeah, 4" BS wheel should work fine.

so if i am understanding this correctly, if i want yhe wheels to hang out 1 inch more then i need to get wheels with 3.5 inches of backspacing

Yes.
