Default Wheels rub radius arm

Hey, can anyone tell me the backspacing/ offset on these rims, my wheels are rubbing the radius arms so I'm looking for some rims that will give me a little more clearance.

Also, if I were to go with a 8" rim would my 33x10.5 tires fit since it will be a while until I get 12.5" wide tires. Just wondering because I had one wheel off and it measured 6" wide and to go to 8's seems like a pretty be jump.

Here are a couple pics. Thanks.

Those look like the factory steel 7" wide rims with 4" of backspacing. 10.5s will fit on an 8" rim.

my 14.50's will fit on a 8 inch rim lol

the are on 10" rims now though.


and to the OP: unless you go with a stupid offset (like mine) lol
your going to rub the radius arms.
