Default Bluecajun, backspace info needed

Lance,
I am fixing to order some 10x16" and 4x16" rims. Didn't you tell me the correct backspacing for my Silverado is 6.5 rear and 2.5 front ?

Also I measure the inside diameter needs to be 14-1/2" minimum to clear disks.


Thanks Bro, or anyone else that knows.
Pitt

I have 7's rear and could still use another half inch if it were possible. 15x10 diamond steel wheels. 1.75" front I believe 4.5x15 steel wheels FWIW

Mine are 6.5 bs and I wish I had went 7.25. I could have tucked better then. I was worried about running a budging section width though. My 315/60/15 clear plenty with 6.5. I could get pics later. I used a t square and measured six ways to Sunday til I was sure mine would fit.

With 6.5" b.s. bogarts and a 29.5x10.5s-15 mt drag, I had less than 1/8" between the sidewall and leaf springs. It didn't rub, but there was no way I could add any more back space.

Thanks guys, I guess I stick with the 6.5

I hope my front at 2.5 is correct

I think mine we're 1.75. I think on a truck with the smaller brakes you could get a little more. Don't quote me on that though. Lots of measuring will tell you for sure
