wheel bearing

[RavoHimself]

how quickly would my wheel bearings wear out with 3.25 back spacing and a 33x10.5? i might have a line up on a good set of wheels (they're either 3.25 or 3.5...he can't tell) and tires and i don't want to be replacing wheel bearings every few months

What size wheel? (15x?, 16x?)

 

[RavoHimself]

15"

Need to know the width.

A 15x7" w/3.25 BS is a whole different animal than say, a 15x10" w/3.25"...

15x8" or narrower would probably be fine.

I've been running 33x12.50 on 15x8 with 3.3 in. backspacing for years with no wheel bearing issues. You should be fine.

they are 15x8. but cool. and with a 10.5 tire i should be just about at the lip of the flare too?

probably a hair past, remember you're combining width gain from a wider tire as well as backspacing change, i think stock is like 4.5? not sure

 

[RavoHimself]

its 4.25" i believe. i think there was both but i think 4.25 was more common

4.5" on stock 15x7s.

33x12.50s on 15x8s (3.75" BS) puts the tire tread edge about even with the fenders (front) on a '93up truck. With 10.5 tires on 15x8 & 3.25" BS you might actually be a small hair inside the fender still.
