    i think the Welds in 15s are like 3.5" backspace...

    im running 16x8s in 3.625" backspace with 285-75 KM2s...

    they don't stick out too far, but my dcab does have the bigger stock flares in the rear...

    i know someone with an 04 xcab running the Wheelers 15s in 3.75" and they look just right on his... he is running 32x10.5 i think...

    i will see if he can send me a pic of his truck...

    i have eagle alloy series 100s in a 15x8 with 3.25" backspacing and the tires (bfg all terrains in a 31x1050r15) stick out about 1.5" past the OEM TRD fender flares.

    i think the OEM 15" alloys (15x7) have 4.5" backspacing.

    ya know, if they end up sticking out, it gives you an excuse to get some bushwhacker flares... them things look beefy...

    Thanks a lot man I'm either going with 32-11.5s or 33-10.5s and it's good to know I won't rub with at least one of those set ups on 3.75" backspaced rims

    I have 33x11.5 tires but the rims are 8" wide with 3.75 backspacing and they stick out a couple inches from the fender well. Here is the best picture I have, if you look close you can see how much they stick out past the flares.
