Sierra5.3 · June 1, 2002

I e-mailed rancho and got the same thing. about back-spacing and using 16x8 rims. But i never found otu what size tires you can use with them? Can you use 16x10?

I have the Rancho kit, and you cannot fit the stock tires on the front. You can on the back. It is ALL about backspacing. Supposedly, you can use any wheel with backspacing less than 4.5". So, yes to a 16x10 or 16x8, or 16.5x9.75 or whatever, as long as the backspacing requirement is met. And, you cannot you use anything smaller than a 16 due to vibrations and caliper size, I believe.

This is all I know!

I honestly dont know the backspacing on stock wheels.

My ProComp lift recommends a 16x8 wheel with 3.5" backspacing.

I actually have 16x8 and 4.5" backspacing.

I could also use 16x10's, and will eventually get new wheels at that size later on.

I have heard of people putting 315's on stock wheels, but im sure that looks really skinny.

I have 315x75's on my 16x8's

The stock cast wheels have a 5.5" backspacing, they won`t work on a rancho lift kit, but will fit on a trailmaster lift kit with the stock 265 tires, if you put anything bigger than a 265 tire on the stock cast wheels with the trailmaster lift you will then need to go to a wheel with a 4.5" backspacing or less.

Autotrac is the auto shift transfer case. It's bttons are right next to the far left vent in the dash. If there is a empty pocket there, you do not have it.
