looks like the dagars wont work soo well. best they can do is 6" back spacing for some reason.

here are a few wheels i like that can be made in up to a 7.25" back spacing. i lthink i like the 3rd one the best. i hate to do it but i think i am going to have to spend $500/wheel to get what i want. :-(

I like the 1st, 3rd, and 4th ones. Good choices to pick from.

I would say 6.5 would be perfect.
the 305/45 up front would sit flush unless the 4x4 suspension off set is slightly differant.

Boyds will do custom backspacing.
Maybe Brian at Intro could help you out.
bad *** view!!

Agreed, 7" up front would be too much. Only do 7" in the rear. <-- I'm not sure that sounds right, but you know what I mean

after looking at creederado's pic's i think a 6" offset might be ok. whatever i do i want to stick with the same exact rims and tires all the way around so i can rotate them when i need to.

i could go back to those dagars if i can live with 6" bs(about $1600) or if i go with custom i will go with 6.5" bs all the way around? $2100+ for any of the custom rims i am seeing.

i might even be able to find those daggars cheeper if i look around, hmmmmmmm.

Creed's got the BC Timeless 6...the machined one, not the cast like you showed in your post. Although to be honest I'm not sure if there is a finish difference? Eagle has a nearly exact same wheel that I have been trying to nudge them to make in the 18x9.5 they have listed on their site. I guess they dont make all those sizes. I have gotten info from a wheel wholesaler that they are thinking about making them this spring. Eagles are just a little more in my price range at nearly half the cost.
