Every truck is a little different, but, the max for front is 6" backspacing,
the max for rear is 7 1/4" with low profile tires. I have seen people run
11" wheels in the back, but, 8" seems to be the max in front unless you like
your tires sticking out past the fenders. I run 17x8's with 5 3/4"
backspacing all the way around and the tires tuck under the fenders nicely.
Go to my page if you want to see them.
