Greg, it looks I like have 5 1/8 backspacing. I need to remember it this time
because that wasn't fun crawling around on the cold ground this morning
LOL. Again, I run a 245/45 but I don't think there'll be a problem running a
255. You might get a little more rubbing than I do. Figure that tire is only
5mm wider on each side.
My truck is dropped with spindles, I don't know if springs make a difference.
