Tires sticking out.

[AKjeff]

I see lots of recommendations for 3.75" back spacing on 15x8 wheels. Will the tires stick out from the fenders with this back spacing? I'm going to start with a 9.50 tire but will go to a 12.50 later and I want to avoid the tires sticking out past the fenders.

I'm ready to order my new wheels but need to decide weather to go with the 3.75" or 4" back spacing.

Thanks

On a 3rd-gen (and newer) 4WD, the edge of a 12.50 wide tire will be pretty much dead even with the fender flare lip with 15x8" 3.75" BS wheels.

Thanks, time to order up the wheels . That's the last thing I need to transform this poor old truck into something else.

I'll post up some before and after pics in a few weeks when I get the wheels in and mounted.
