what is the wheel backspacing on a 1996 ford f-150 2wd? everything undernesth is stock. i am wanting to put 18X10 wheels in the rear, and 18X8's in the front. the tires i want to put on are 295/35/18 in the rear, and 255/35/18 in the front. what backspacing is the best for these size tires to fit? i don't want the wheels to extend past the fenders. if these don't fit, what would be the widest i could go? thank you.

 

IIRC the stock 15 x 7.5 wheels are 4.25 backspacing. I put 16 x 8 AR Bajas on my 96 2WD. They're zero offset which works out to 4-7/16" backspacing. They clear nicely.

 

blu dvl are you in NC?

if so what trails you ride?

 

NOT IN NC, IN FLORIDA. I DON'T RIDE TRAILS WITH MY TRUCK. I WANT TO LOWER IT AFTER I GET MY WHEELS AND TIRES PUT ON. IT DOES SEEM LIKE EVERYONE WITH THE SAME YEAR TRUCK PUTS LIFT KITS ON THEIRS, BUT I AM A STREET BOY. I WANT TO MAKE MINE FASTER AND BETTER LOOKING THAN ALL THESE DAMN RICE ROCKETS DRIVING AROUND. IT'S A DREAM OF MINE TO HAVE IT IN TRUCKIN MAGAZINE SOMEDAY. BUT I HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO FOR THAT. I'M JUST TAKING MY TIME WITH IT.

 

some go down some go up....

i thought you might be a duke fan, from NC... im in NC.. thats why i asked....

 

no, not a duke fan. i'm a gator fan. mainly because i have a lot of friends there.
