Backspacing 4.5

[thekjwith9lives]

Im looking at some rims that are 16x8 with 4.5'' of backspacing.I was wondering if that would cause major rubbing issues?If so, what would i do to minimize the rubbing?Also my tire size is 245/75/16.Thanks

7 inch wide wheels would work way better for 245-75s

these rims are at a good deal so id really like them to work.What problem is the 8'' vs the 7''? and what about rubbing?

8s are a little to wide. libertys work perfectly with 7s and 4.5 backspacing. you can do 8s if you want but odds are your going to listen to a lot of rubbing

will trimming help any?

I'm running 5.5" backspace wheels (15x8) with 1" spacers (making them 4.5"), and 31x10.50 tires. Tires rub at full lock with my Frankenlift, but I like the wider stance and the rubbing is minimal. I just ordered some Pro Comp 8128 (16x8 4.5" backspace) wheels to replace the ones I have now, but they are on backorder for another month!
