Backspacing on rim?

Backspacing on rim?

I can't remember exactly what the backspacing is so I looked on Summits website and it is showing one rim having 4.87 inches and another rim at 3.31 inches. If I had to guess I have the rims with the 4.87 backspace.

Take a quick look at your rear springs. If your tires aren't within about a quarter inch away from them, you've got the 3 5/16 version. My 'lines with the 4 7/8 backspace need a .300-.350 spacer to get the tires off the springs.

I have a 1 inch gap between my tires and leaf springs.

MT also makes a 295 55 15 tire and that is what I use. It's 28" tall, so same height as a 275 60 15. I was running them on 15x8 and recently switched to a 15x10.
