    Hello

    I'm looking to get a second set of wheels/tires for my 13DCSB Sport, to run some more aggressive (winter) tires on the truck. I live in Minnesota so having a bit more traction in the winter is preferable...especially when I head north to our cabin and when i go hunting.

    I plan on being able to swap out the wheels/tires at will, want to use the exact same dimentions on tires 265/65-17...which leads me to the questions I have.

    My question is about backspacing. My stock wheels have 5.5" of backspacing and the wheels i'm looking at have 4.5" of backspacing.

    That being said, is this easily solved with spacers? I'm thinking it does, just so the backspacing isn't an issue...but i'm hoping the collective knowledge of TCWorld can help.

    Thanks!

    4.5" backspacing will be fine. That's what I have on the same truck as you (2013 DCSB Sport).
