backspacing for 20's
I'm wanting to buy some Moto Metal 951's and 35" Toyo MT's for my truck I either want a 18" or 20" wheel. My current set up is 2.5" skyjacker leveling springs with 35" bfg MT's and 17" eagle alloy wheels backspacing unknown. I need to know what backsapcing I would need to fit 18's or 20's..... Here is a pic of the setup I like on a second gen (I think they are 20's, but I'm not for sure) if anyone has some pics of 3rd gens with this setup please post them

Those look like Moto metal 20s on 35s.
I am in the process of putting 20" KMC Rockstars on my truck. I went with a 20x8.5, with a backspacing of 5.14" and an offset of +10mm. These might stick out just a bit past the fenders, but a little bit of "overhang" is ok with me, and if it too bad I can always put on some fender flares. I would think that if you want to make the 35s work well with your current lift set up, you want about 5.5" of backspacing, and want to keep your rim width at a maximum of 9". Just my .02

I put Eagle Alloys 0836 rims on my truck with a 25mm offset. They fit perfect, if you stuck a straight edge on the tires they stick out past the fenders maybe a 1/4". I am running falken stz 305 50 20's on these rims, and no rubbing whatsoever. I have a 2" revtek leveling kit on the front

I bought them off of ebay, I believe that they are the srt 10 headlight. I had projector headlights on before, I like these ones much better. Especially now that I have the britebox and silverstars
