For you guys with 8.8's

WobblesXJ · Feb 6, 2005

I've found a pretty good deal on an 8.8 with discs. My question is for you guys running 33x11.50x15 on this axle. What backspacing are you using in the rear and what spacing in the front to even them out?

Get some quality wheel spacers (like from spidertrax). That way you can have 4 rims with the same bs'ing.

(that's what I did) :wave:

use the same bs on all wheels
get spacers if you want to, but thats not really necessary either

So you're saying that using the stock wheels won't rub the tires on the leaves?

it might rub with stockers, i assumed with 33's you were running more bs tho.

33's and stock wheels is going to rub alot up front

i was just saying i would not run two differnt sized wheels so you can rotate them or whtever

Yeah I guess I should have been more clear. What backspacing are you guys running with the 8.8 so that it doesn't rub in the rear or the front.

I run 35x12.50 mtrs on 15x8's w/ 4.5" backspacing.

the tires were 1/4" from the leafs with no spacers. So I run 1.25" spacers.

when i first did the swap my stock rims with 31x10.5's rubed on the spring clamp bolts. i now have 33x13.5 ltb's and they are about an inch from the bolts o yea there on a 15x8 rim with 3.75 bs. rember if you have a wide rim the tire will be moved a little further away from the car side of the rim giveing you more room between control arms and the rear springs. my wheels rub when turned all the way and that is with 3.75 bs

I'm running 3.75" BS on 15x8's with 35x12.5's, fits perfect, no rubbing at all.
