you still going to have problems with the banjo bolt. you will have to switch to an s10/blazer caliper with that much backspacing. this is a stock 16x7 rim.

I would say it would. 1" may seem insignificant but it is 10% of the treadwidth. It is also within the recommended range. Since you are going to have some wheels made, check if they have a 9" hoop. This will keep the wheel/tire tucked in better and give you the stability you need. A 10" rim w/6.5" bs is going to put the tire just at the outside edge of your fender so they will be just shy of tucking. A 9" rim with 6"bs would be just about perfect IMO.

Hey bluecajun5.3, thanks for the pictures. It looks like there is about an inch between the edge of the wheel and the bolt. Have you measured it? Is that a Tahoe wheel?

Yep! I would think 9.5 wide with 6.5 bs would sound ideal to me then. I think Lance's photos show that 6.5 b/s works ok as well as bogart's use that bs . Good discussion guys!
