Wheel Size & Backspacing
Hi,
I have got an 1985 F150 4x4, I am going to install a 4" lift soon and am wondering about the wheels I should get.
I am planning on running 33x12.50 BFG Muds. I was wondering if a 15x8 or a 15x10 would be better(I currently have 31x10.50 on stock grey spokes and they rub on the radius arms) I would like to avoid this and was wondering what kind of backspacing I should get.
Thanks for any help

Yes, 8 is to narrow, need 8.5 or larger, i'd go with 10 because that way you have room to install even bigger tires hehe.
