Default can i fit 16x10 or 16x12.5 rims and what backspacing
found some rims i like. cant get em any bigger than 16 which is ok for now. gettin some fender flares so how much back spacing. want them to tuck as much as safe but dont mind if they stick out a couple inches or so. thanks

I'm curious as well. I may take off my 20s in the rear and stick a set of phat M/T Drag Radials for daily driving.

A 16x12 with a six inch backspace will fit no problem. It will stick out just a small bit.

This thread has all the details:

Good photos on the last page. You won't likely find a 16x12 rim commercially, I had mine custom made. 16x10's are easy. Those tires are the Nostalgia slick and are 32" tall.

www.intercotire.com for the M&H slicks.
