Default Dumb question..

alright guys

here it is, i have seen some trucks that have their tires sitting out a little farther than normal. i know the obvious answer is to get some wider tires. but i feel like there should be more to it than that. can anyone help me out?

Spacer possibly? All depends on how you want to do it, wider tires, wider rims, or both, or just get a spacer to move the wheel out from the hub. Not recommended, the spacers, but it is another way to widen the stance

I agree, spacers are definitely not a great idea. Just use some wide tires and a more negative offset. My trucks tires are 12.5 inches wide on wheels to match the width of the tires, giving it a wider stance, I found this online, it shows what negative offset it, Incase you don't already know!

i suggest you get some 15x10 rims. most rims that wide will have decent backspacing. i would not get spacers. i've heard spacers will wear out your wheel bearings
