>>Hi again the truck in question has Boyd aftermarket rims not sure which
 model. How can i properly measure backspacing of my rims.<<

Take one of the wheels off and lay a straightedge across the back of the rim.
 You will need approximately a 15" long straightedge if you have 15" rims,
becuase the straightedge must rest on the edge of the rim, not on the tire.
Now simply measure the distance from the "back" side of the wheel mounting
flange (the part that touches the drum or rotor, as the case may be) to the
edge of the rim, as denoted by the straightedge. This distance is your
backspacing.
