I did notice a set of red straps peeking out from under the shirt. Bumpy road huh.

Reminds me of that party song. Paradise City.

Pinky and all, so I have 245 75 16 tires so is it fair to say that the wheels I need at 16x8 with bolt pattern 5x120, what backspacing does everyone use. PInky yours looks like the 2.75"+ or - wheels is that correct?

They are 15x8, 5x6.5 bolt.

I think the backspacing is either 4.5 or 4.25

So 5x6.5 is the common LR bolt pattern?

Different sizes of the procomp 87 5x6.5s here: Rock Crawler Series 87 - Gloss Black - Pro Comp Rock Crawler Steel Wheels - Steel Wheels - Wheels - by 4 Wheel Parts
I think they may also have white or chrome of this style if you look around.


Home | Gulf Coast Rovers also has the same style of wheels. They are more expensive, so I assume they are better quality. You have to pay for shipping with them too so its almost double the cost of getting the procomps.

It was actually quite bumpy, and the grass was indeed green...

Do you WANT the wheels or do you think you need them. Other than looks there's no real advantage to running a steel wheel with that backspacing for the tire you're running.
