Re: TJ rim backspacing
Weird, sent a post but didn't see it...
In case it didn't make it, I got some 15x8" rims with 4" of backspacing,
replacing my 15x10's with 4 inches of backspacing also... guess it doesn't
make much of a difference on the inside of the tire but the outside now
tucks a bit more under my fender flares than the 10 inch wide ones... makes
the tire look skinnier but rounded.
Maybe my last post didn't go through 'cuz I sent a pic of how far out the
tires stick with these rims. If anyone wants to know how far it sticks out
I can send the pic, or at least figure out how to use my isp's server space
to show it.
