wrong term used. cupping does refer to a shock, allignment, balance problem. it will pull the edges of the tire down towards the rim. well, what is the reccomended rim width of a 37/12.50/16 or 17? then if i am wrong, then i am wrong, but if i am right, ???????

Does anybody here have 16 x 10's on a X. And if so, do you know what your back spacing is.Looks like there is a little room for grinding on the tierod end if need be.
But just alittle.

Reason I didn't is because I only paid $150/ea for my 37x12.5x16 Irok Radials and couldn't turn that price down.

I got the stock spare in it right now, I think it is mounted on a 16. Tomarrow Ill mount it up and check clearences. I ordered the tires and wheels from national tire and wheel, and they asked what the vehicle was. So maybe they took back spacing into account. If they dont work I guess they will be going back or you might see them on ebay. Ill deal with that when they get here next week.
