IZRL Posted September 7, 2023 Report Share Posted September 7, 2023 The front wheels on my 84 720 4x4 look to be about 1 1/2 inches deeper inside the wheel wells then the rear wheels. So far all the pics of front/rear wheels I've seen online of similar truck years look to be either perfectly aligned with each other or very close. Maybe pictures make it hard to see, but to me the difference in my truck's stance sticks out like a sore thumb. It doesn't look good to me. Are others using wheel spacers to widen the front stance a bit, and if so, what size spacers? Also I've been researching to see what width wheels I currently have but I can't find a straight answer. I currently am running the OEM wheels. I would rather not have to pay to dismount a tire and then pay to get it remounted to see what size wheel it is. Its a 15" wheel. Thanks Quote Link to comment
NC85ST Posted September 7, 2023 Report Share Posted September 7, 2023 Pictures might help. Have you tried swapping the front and rear wheels in order to see if it’s a difference in the wheels? Quote Link to comment
IZRL Posted September 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2023 If you stand directly in front of the truck it looks more pronounced. But I took the pic at a slight angle so that the rear wheel is also visible. All four wheels are OEM and identical. Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted September 7, 2023 Report Share Posted September 7, 2023 It's easy enough to measure backspacing. Remove a front and a rear wheel, set a straight edge across the inner lip of the wheel, and measure down from that to the mounting surface. That's your wheel backspacing. Not to be confused with wheel offset. Quote Link to comment

Not to be confused with wheel offset. All 4 wheels look identical which is why I didn't measure the backspacing. Good call, I will double check and report back, thanks. Do you happen to know what the width is for the wheels that come stock on these trucks? I read a post somewhere a while back that said they were either 15X5.5 or 15X6? Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted September 11, 2023 Report Share Posted September 11, 2023 I do not know the specs for that wheel, sorry. I'm sure different packages had different wheels with possibly different offsets and widths. Quote Link to comment
