biggest thing is finding a 5"BS to fit... 17" and up are easy thats ~400-500 in rims plus ~1000+ in tires :(

good luck finding a 16 in a 5" backspce. Industry standard will be 4" on 90% of the rims in that size.

alloy yeah... steel isnt so hard...

i know set most oem 16s are 4.5-5" :rolleyes: oem on the hd is 5.125

i think all you punks that like ~1/2 the tread sticking out is the problem :rofl:

5"bs has less scrub radius than a 4.5 or less BS

:rofl::rofl:

A 5" BS is better for stock applications but you can't run that on a lifted truck. I think that is one of the main reasons. I don't make rims so I don't know for sure. I worked in the industry for awhile though.

scrub radius is the distance between the center of the tire and the SAI Steering Axis Inclination

i could get technical about it btu its too later...

yet stock rims fit on most lifted applications :rolleyes:

now you get into leave spring and 4 links (dodge) you need to move the wheel out to clearance larger tires ... IFS doesnt have that problem near as much

US wheel 42(steel) summit say 5" website says 4.5 be callign them tomorrow see whats up
