I bought 16x10 ultras with a 4 1/2 inch offset so my tires would not rub it worked
so my thought would be the above ##. Or ask your local tire shop.

Youll want to get 15x10 to go with the tires, ebay got killer deals on wheels. Crager makes mad cheap black ones. with a 15x10 you will be looking at a 4+ backspacing anyway.

I hate to jump in on this one, But I am doing a 6" lift with extended radius arms and I am looking at rims to. Do I go with the 15x10 with 3 5/8" or can I go with the 16x10 with the 4 1/2" backspacing. I am tring to find a rim that will fit and not be rubbing the radius arms all the time. I should mention I am looking at the 35" tires.

HELP!! getting frustrated now! bought the tires already at a great price just need rims!!

Did some research. Couldnt find any with the 4+ backspacing. This was the biggist that I found. You will be fine with these. Ill keep looking once I take care of some stuff.
