Wheel help!! 12'' wheels

I know it has been an on going topic forever. I can't seem to find just what I'm asking for.

i have a 11' pre-runner i leveled it out and was quite happy with it. So i have order a 4'' spindle lift for it with blocks as I'm waiting on it to get here I'm looking for wheels. i have tried to understand all the backspacing and everything that goes with it its just not clicking. My question is can i run a 16x12 wheel with a 4.28 bs. Or has anyone else done anything close.

I am looking at these for a better mind set.

Part of me just wants to sit back with a giant bucket of cheese popcorn and watch this nuclear disaster happen .. but then I'm not that mean .. so

NO you can't. Will they bolt on the truck without an issues?? .. absolutely. Will you be able to make any turns?? .. hell no.

Please put down your lug wrench and step away from the vehicle sir.

 

I'm gunna sub to it just because the whole back spacing and blah blah blah idk what any of it means

 

12" wide wheel...why??

 

Somebody has to be the trail blazer

Looking forward to pics OP

 

Yeah, you're not going anywhere but a straight line if you try and put 12" wide wheels on. I've seen a lot of guys go as wide as 9", but there would still be some trimming and/or CMC. I have 8.5" with a 285 and can go lock to lock without rubbing.

 

here's a good diagram.

You could mockup a cardboard/ wood panel the diameter of our desired tire diameter, bolt it on instead of our stock wheel, and use a measuring tape to see what will hit at the desired tire width.

 

Backspacing ... take your wheel, place it shiny-side down. Take a straight object and place it on the rear lip of the wheel from one side to the other. Measure from that edge down to the back of the center hub surface.


Offset ... a little more tricky to understand because you are working from a point of measurement that is pretty much floating in "space". Take the wheel width, cut it in half. Measure that half distance in from the back just like you are measuring backspacing. That is your point in "space". Measure from that point to the hub surface of the wheel. If the hub is behind the point (closer to the brakes) that is a negative offset (makes the wheel stick out). If the hub is in front of that point (closer to the front lip of the rim) that is a positive offset (makes the wheel suck up into the wheel well).


Overall these measurements are extremely important because this determines where the wheel rides within the wheel well, and assures proper clearance of your wheel and tire from your suspension, the body, etc. Getting these numbers wrong, literally by as little as 1/8" (3mm) can mean a cut tire and bad wreck.

 

What size tire you wanting to run? Pretty sure if they clear the calipers it'll be fine. Tons of guys on maxtrac spindles+more lift are running 12 wides.

 

I would check with the Hawaii Region...

 

I'm going to have to check that out for when I put on my long travel because I'm not sure if it will rub the uca at all but I'm thinking it will I barely have any slack behind my rim to my caliper maybe a 1/4 inch
