Default Re: What backspace are you running on your 2's wheels, pics??

I'm curious what backspace others are running and how it looks. I have the extended fender flares and want to bring the wheels outward a bit. The stock wheels look horrible with extended flares with the huge backspace we have.

Thanks in advance!
I'm pretty sure the stockers are 5.5" BS...so it depends on what you're looking for; flush with the flare or poking out a bit (I personally like 'poking out a bit,' but not more than an inch). Measure the difference from the edge of your flare to the tire and go for a rim that moves you out to where you wanna be.

I've got some pics at home of mine...I'll pull them up tonight and post.
