Default Stock Backspacing

Does anybody know what the stock backspacing is for the 16" steel wheels? Also will a 4" back spacing make it a wider stance and will it look good?
Thanks

what kind of offset are you looking for? Bed style? 4x4? Flares or no flares, to vague. What does "will it look good"mean I think my stance looks good, others don't agree.

I was trying to find the same info myself here and then did research on the web. I think the backspace is 4.50. I just got new wheels 16x8 0 offset and 4.50 back space. My tires stick out just a tiny bit more.

I went to Cargar com and this is what I came up with. But from what I see it doesn't look like they will stick out at all. I been looking around to see if I could find any pic of the size wheel u are wanting and can't really find any. Hope this helps some.

No problem. Your welcome. Just trying help much as I can. When I asked I didn't really get any kind of response lol. I bought the vision assassin 396 wheels from summit. I live bout 10 min away from the Ohio one. I got the 16x8 0 offset and 4.50 backspacing. I've heard it kinda if hard to get our trucks wheels to stick out. Mine stick out maybe 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Just nuff for me. It really fills the wheel well nicely. I've also running 265/75/16 Mickey Thompson Baja tires. So the whole set up looks good.

I actually was thinking of the soft 8 ur looking at but the 16x8. I wanted a lil wider wheels then stock.

Good luck and hope u can find some more info.
