The rim offset is as important or more as the width. Too much offset (3 1/2" or more) will cause rubbing of the frame and spring sag.

Instead of 'offset', I should have said 'backspace', instead of '3 1/2" or more', I should have said '3 1/2" or LESS'. Its been a tough week.

,
Are you running these on the front also that what I want to do but mine have 4 inch backspace and I understood not to go more than 3 1/2. What is your backspace and what size tire are you running.
Thanks
John

I run 7" wide with 3 1/2" backspace and my fronts will drag on the frame/wheelwell when making a tight turn.
