Wheel backspacing

Im ordering 36x12.50-15 TSL's for my f100. Im getting 15x10 black wheels with 3.75" backspacing, is this backspacing ok for a truck with radius arms up front?

I have some 36x13.50-15 Irocs on my 79 Bronco on 15x10 mickey thomson's with 3 5/8" backspacing and they work fine.

Anything from around 3.5-4" works great.

Just be sure that won't put the tires too far out to cause you problems with local laws. Typical backspacing for that rim will be about 4.5" so you're not too far off but a lot of states will hassle you if your tires stick out much.

4.5 is typical for your bs. Or 3.5 when you call me up and ask when I'm busy being drunk and forgettfull.


Right Ivan?
