Usually you need 5" backspace with 3x3's. That depends on the rear cage design as well as shock mounting though. 2x3's need 4" backspace usually.

Big scott, $1200 is way out of my range that I Want to spend.

Afterburnt, this style any good as far as strength? The price sounds great and I assume I need to get adapters from instigator to go with them.

I just got my rims, I haven't tried them yet. But this is what everyone is running, and they seem to be holding up for them. And besides, at $150 a rim, if you do mess one up that bad, it's not a whole lot of money.

You guys need to shop around. I got 160 ish in my alum.pair & I bought 4 carbon fiber 14 wides over the last 6 months with the cheapest 55 bucks to 90 for one with a perfect Hoosier still mounted. Watch ebay & bid till you get em. I probably bid on 30 & won 6. Depending on where they are I might be able to pick em up & save shipping.

Nitro, the adapters Russ sells are monsters. Its the only set youll ever need. I used to bend VW adapters. These aint bending.

I've got some of Russ's also, you're not going to beat his adapters.

Ok next saga in this tale. I've got someone willing to trade wide 5 aluminums for my steels. But, I'm having trouble finding any weld on beadlocks for the aluminums, any ideas? And sorry Ody, but I cant afford the bad a$$ ones your buddy makes. Also any idea what thicknes I need these rims to be to be any good in the woods? I'm waiting to hear back on the specs.

No problem, I would try Drews for aluminum weld ons. They have them now and then for around 150 a set.
Another source is MRWs.
