question about new wheels

[NDsuperduty]

I am currently running 325/65r18's on my stock wheels with a 6' lift. They fit really well but rub on my radius arm at full turn. I am about to get new tires and want to go up to a 37, but I know I need new wheels so they dont rub the radius are like crazy. What backspacing will I need to get? Looks like most 18x9-10" wheels come in a 4.5-5.7" backspacing. Thanks

4.5".The less backspace you have the farther your tires will stick out and away from your radius arms.

haha, funny that someone replies the day that my wheel & tire set are delivered, and I just got done putting them on.

Now for the next question. What torgue do yall use on your wheels. I think the manual says 150, but im thinking thats a little high.

nice ride NDsuperduty!! can you tell me what backspacing you went with? and does it rub? i am looking into getting some new rims this week and i dont want them to stick out too far. i have an 08 and will be puttting on a 4" lift with 35x12.5x18 tires.

The 08 may be a little different, but my wheels had a 4.53 backspacing and -12 offset. I believe the BSing is the only real important number though. Mine do not rub at all, but I also have a 6" lift and a full front bumper replacement which gives me more clearance in the front. I had 325/65 on the stock wheels before, and the only real difference is that I no longer rub on the radius arms and the tires stick out about 1.5" further(which I like)

that is what i want, for them to stick out about 1.5" on the 20's (w/bs of 4.5) they stuck out like 3 to 4" without tires. maybe there is a difference between the 18 and 20. well i am going to call 4wp and order them today. they have 30% off on the ones i want which is funny cuz you have them now. but mine will be chrome with the +18 i think.

NDsuperduty, I just ordered my rims and will have everthing in next week. the rims are xd monsters with a backspace 5.71 in. i will let you know and post pics.(still working on learning how to post pics) hoping these will not rub or stick out too far.
