Wheel back spacing

Could anyone please tell me what the back spacing is on a stock 3rd gen wheel, also has anybody put on 35's with aftermarket wheels with just a 2" leveling kit. Thanks, Mike

Mike,
You can put 35's on 3rd gen with just 2" level.
I run 33's with no level kit and no rubbing, stock lift.

Thanks PourinDiesel, I run 35's now with no problem but I have heard that if I put on aftermarket wheels they will rub because of the back spacing but I am not sure. Mike

I run Mickey Thompsons "MT2's" 17x9's but I don't know the back spacing.
I bought them used off an 03 (took out all the brain work of aquisition).

If you have 5" of BS or more...those tires should not rub.
