[QUOTE="Speartip, post: 457529, member: 23341"] Flares have changed over the years . But judging by the pic it looks like your sticking out beyond the flare as much as I do . 1 1/2 inches . I’m running 2008 Saraha Rims 17x9 4.5 “ Backspacing . If you measure from rim mounting surface to the lip . You can see what the backspacing is . If 4.5” your good to go . Will give sufficient clearance for 1 ton ends , 35 or 37” tires , after market control arms etc etc . As a few already mentioned it’s a good idea to include spare in your rotations . Somebody up above mentioned rotating not required . That’s one of the more sillier things I have read on here . Your front tires wear more & differently than the rears because of all the turning you do . Any reputable shop will suggest rotating regularily . My tire shop offers free rotating . So a bit of a bonus . Every 2nd oil change cruise by the shop and get tires done . [/QUOTE]
