I just received me new tires 325/65-18 Nitto Terra grapplers, with 18x9 eagle allloys 197. Still waiting on the bilstein 5100 leveling shocks.

Is this a good set up? What back spacing should i use??

 

You already bought it all and dunno what back spacing you need or if it's a good choice???

Yes, that should be fine once leveled if you are running a 4wd. That also depending on your back spacing of the wheel...

 

well my friend at the performance shop is taking care of it all i was just wondering so when he tells me what back spacing and stuff he did i kinda know already haha.

 

it says 4.50 back spacing, so is that mean the stick out away from the fender more ?

 

Yes. Don't even worry about offset if it's mentioned, just know that less backspacing will move the wheel ferther away from the fender.

Backspacing is the distance from the mounting surface to the backside lip of the wheel.

 

post some pics when its done... It will be pretty much the same set up as i got but my rims wont be in until tuesday.

I bought the 17x9 197s all chrome, tires are nitto terra grapplers 305/70-17. Tires are sitting in my dining room waiting to be mounted

 

i am really pissed, because i ordered the Bilstein 5100 Leveling shock at the start of december and they are back ordered and the date keeps getting pushed back !! It went from Jan 1st, to Jan 15th and now Jan 31st!!!!

 

Who are you getting them through?

 

shockwarehouse.com, but i called bilstein directly to see what the deal was and they said they are the ones creating the back order!!

 

Yea, we are showing end of the month till they are ready to ship out.
