Default need backspacing for 10in wheel:pics if possible

someone please let me know the backspacing for a 2wd that will keep the wheels tucked pretty good still. i will be adding factory fender flares and it will be lowered 2 inches. not a problem if it sticks out a little. please help.

what diameter wheel? if you go 16's you will have to stick with the stock offset or the rim will hit the brake line. it is 5 or 5.5". the rim will stick out some.

i really dont know for sure, a 9" wheel with the max back spacing would barely stick out, and not past the flares for sure, i think the 10's would be fine too.

i have some 16x8 with 5" back spacing, i can take a pic of that and you can get an idea. i will do that and post up pic's in awhile.

really appreciate it. my brother's truck is a 97 and it has 15x10's all the way around. im not sure the offset but they may stick outside his flares half an in at most but it looks really sweet with so much meat underneath the truck. i think hes running 295/55's or 60's. thanks for the help Parish. knew i could count on ya

here are the pic's http://www.neufamily.org/images/rims/

those rims are 16x8 with a 5" back spacing, there is pleanty of room for a 5.5" back spacing, might be room for 6" but depenind on the rim design that might not fit.

those tires are 285/75's with 9.5" tread and 13" sidewall width. i would say this set up is exactly flush with the top of the wheel well.

a 16x9 with 5.5" would look prety much the same with these tires and a 16x10 would have to stick out a little but with flares it wouldn't. i say go for it. 16x10 with 5.5" bs. any good tires sizes for what you want to do?

Looks like there is actually alot of room back there I wonder how wide of wheels we could get it would be nice to put some 335 width rubber back there.

CREEDERADO is running a 18x9.5 with a 305/45/18 on his. Don't know what backspacing, but it looks good!
