King Ranch wheels?
i have been looking at buying a set of used king ranch wheels for my 2001. i know the backspacing is different and i cant run them w/o wheel spacers. i wanted to know if any of you guys have any input? what is the backspacing? i need to know what size wheel spacers i need.
have any of you guys experienced installing these wheels on a truck like mine? maybe a buddy's truck? thanks, any input will help.

Backspacing is the distance from the inner edge of the wheel to the hub mount pad. In order to get those wheels on your truck with spacers you would need to know the factory back spacing on your truck and the KR truck it came off of and then calculate the difference. That would be the size of your spacing.

the wheels i am looking at are the 18''x8'' KR. someone told me that they have 7'' of backspacing but i find that hard to believe since the wheels are 8'' wide? thanks guys for the input.
