Well the 16x7 4"backspace and 16x8 5" backspace are both the same distace on the outside of the rim. So does that mean mine are going to rub also jeepjeep?
I bought the Cragar soft 8 black rims which are the exact same size, but in the 4" backspace. Stock backspacing is at 5.5" so I would have the equivalent of 1.5"spacers. I will have them put on tomorrow and get back to you.
