Ok well after my 4 inch Trailmaster is installed I plan on runnin
32x11.50's tires on my truck, still not sure about what kind. I do have a
question for you tire/rims experts: Trailmaster sent me a list suggesting
various rim configurations for my 93 Dakota 4x4 with the 6-4.5 bolt circle.
I need to know about this backspacing thing concerning 4x4's. The rims
range from 3.58 inches, 3.75 and 3.5 inches backspacing....what exactly will
these different sizes do for me, or what I am looking for as far as back-
spacing on a rim? What size 15 incxh rim, widthwise is safe for a 11.5 inch
wide tire??? 7, 8, or 8.5 inches? THANKS
Kyle
