    Sorry to be a bother, but I have spent hours and hours trying to figure out what wheel offset and backspacing I need, with no avail. I plan on getting 265 75r16 tires with 8 inch wide wheels, but don't want to have to do any trimming and without having to install a lift kit.

    Any information at all would be helpful

    Suggest you leave the thread title "Help!" for folks who are in need of help such as stranded or stuck out on a trail. Maybe "assistance needed for wheel options" would be a better title.
    With that said, what style wheels are you looking at!

    Can you change your thead title please? Help is reserved for folks in need of immediate help.

    You wont need any trimming on 265/75s. 8 inch wheel with 0 or -6 offset is plenty fine

    Your stock wheels will work if you don't wanna buy new wheels.

    It won't let me change the name of the thread anymore, sorry, didn't really think of that.

    Right now I'm looking at these
    http://www.fueloffroad.com/boost-d534-w-381.htm
    But I'm not opposed to suggestions. They just have to be black or grey.

    Those arent my cup of tea, check out some SCS wheels.

    If you are set on those, 1 offset with 4.5 bs is what youll want

    The standard seems to be 4.5" back spacing or 0 offset with an 8" wide wheel. You can also find info from sources such as Camburg and Total Chaos that to use there upper control arms max back spacing should be no more than 4.75"(just FYI). A wheel with 4.5" will sit out farther from the spindle than a wheel with 4.75" of back spacing. So a wheel with more back spacing will keep tire farther away from inner fender at the rear while turning. Hope that helps. One question. Why do you want to go to a 8" wheel? 265 75R16 will work on stock wheels.

    Actually i ordered some wheels with 4.5 backspacing, and +1 offset and it rubbed the front mudflaps, had to take them off also at full lock, going up into a parking lot or something 5 or 6 inches high i got some rub on my fender flares.

    Now with factory wheels never had that issue, with 265/75/16 tires. After my lift, never rubbed again.

    Just my two cents.
