Thinking about buying a set of America Racing Renegades for my ranger, I'm gonna be bumping up to 35"s after I get my lift on, and wanted to start shopping for rims/tires while I wait for the lift to get powder coated

http://4wheelonline.com/Products.aspx?CategoryId=1677&ProductId=9475

These are the rims I've been looking at,

15x10
-38mm offset
4" backspacing

According to the TRS Tech. Library ;
"Recommended backspacing on a 15x10 wheel is 4.00 inches with -38mm offset."

So these rims seem to fit the needs, as well as looks I want for my truck.

I plan on matching these bad boys with some Pro Comp M/Ts, 35x12.5r15s



SO I guess my real question is, what do you guys think of this setup? do you think they will rub on my 96? I don't really care about the noise, I like to hear the roar.

Any experience with Pro Comp. tires? I've also got my eyes on some BFGoodrich M/Ts...

Wow those Cragar are really nice...I'm just looking for something mostly/all black for my truck, I don't want it to be too flashy, but I want it to look nice as it is my daily driver first and foremost!

I had my eyes on some Ultra Rogues from Tirerack, but they only came in 15x8s :(


Anyone know if they come with center caps? and I'll have to get Open end caps for the front right?

the center caps need to be bought separate for the cragars

heres a pic of the cragars wrapped in a 30x9.50 mud terrain.

That's almost exactly the look I'm going for, I've got black fender flares/bumpers/wheels, I just need to figure out what backspacing I'm going with since I'm raising the truck 4 inches.

Edit: So the way backspacing works...a higher backspacing (4 inches ) would stick out further than a lower backspacing (3.56 inches)?

Curious if 4" backspacing will be pretty wide on a 96 or should I go higher?


anyone know for sure?

Looking up the Ultra Rogue 15x10, I see it has a BS of 3 3/4". So that means they will stick out from the mounting surface 6 1/4", which is a LOT.

Where can you find the 15x10 version? i've only seen 8...

And yeah, stock backspacing is 4.5, so they'd stick out a bit.


Might be going for these
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/USW-841-5012/?image=large
4" offset, inner diameter clears hubs, 5x4.5 bolt, 38mm offset...

they seem like just what i'm looking for, non-functional beadlock since my baby is still mostly a daily driver, haha
