wheel backspacing and other stuff

[kiragyu]

ok guys i dont know a whole lot bout tires so explain to me i am going with a 32x11.5x15 bfg km2 on a 1998 mazda b3000 i was thinking bout getting new wheels for it i was wondering what kind of backspacing i should get and how wide of a wheel i should get cuz i have heard it somewhere that you shouldnt have more the 3" like your wheel is 8" wide but the tire is 11.5 i have heard that it makes the tire bubble and doesnt look good so can you guys help me out here thanks

ive always heard a 4" difference is the most youll want, and the most tire shops will do. however, some guys do run 12.5" tire on stock 7" wide wheels, its the back spacing with stock wheels that usually causes problems. you should be fine with a 15x8 wheel with 4" of back space.

A 15x8 wheel with 3.75" backspace will be fine. You may need to turn the torsion bars up a little in the front, at most, but that'll work.
