HELP...Will a 16X10 with 4.5" backspacing work??

[Daddy4zack]

I just got my rims in the mail.. ;D 16x10 3.25 backspacing so i thought.. When I opened the box the wheel is an Extreme alloy 1869, 16X10 and 4.5" backspacing.... will these still work? I have a Dana 44 with Chebby disks, 3.5" BC W/winch front coils, 2" body lift. I plan on running 305/70/16 BFG MT's.(33's).. Soon I want to get up to 35's. Can I Run a Tie rod over with this backspacing? will I be limiting myself?? When I called the company they said that a 16X10 only comes in a 4.5" backspace.. So it was a type O on the internet.. What should I do Return them or will they work??

Thanks
Aaron

I Just Got My 35 12.50 Traxxus Tires 17x9 Rims Today,and Installed And They Rub A Little At Full Turn With Stock Radius Arms.i Have 3.5 Suspension And 2 Inch Body. These 17" Rims W/ 35 Look Sweet. SO THEY WILL FIT/WORK, MAYBE A LITTLE RUB.

the 17x9 rims you got...what backspacing?

rims

the rims are 17x9 extreme alloys with 5 inch back spacing,they also sell spacers for the rims if you want to push rim out more.im very happy with the 17" rim it looks alot better on the 35 insted of the small 15, and it will make your bronco handle a little better,you will not have all the tire flex,all sports cars run bigger rims for more stability.

I've been thinking about this as well, but maybe even a 17" wheel with a 32" or 33" tire.

Anyone have pictures of 17" wheel 32" tire 3 1/2" lift?

fire bronc, I'd love to see pics of your 35" tires too.

My problem is i allready have these 16X10 and i need to know if the 4.5 backspacing is too much..

I had issues with 4" backspacing. I went to 3.5" backspacing and issues are gone. Here's a pic with the 4" bs stuffed....
