I need to know the max backspacing I can run on a 18x8 wheel on an S10. I am about to order a set of wheels from Boyd and gotta find this out asap.Its for our memorial build that were working on. THANKS EVERYONE

WITH A BD I WOULD GO 18 X 7 WITH A 4 1/2 BACKSPACE WILL GIVE YOU ALOT MORE TURNING ROOM WHEN YOU ARE DOWN LOW, AND ALSO MORE CLEARANCE FOR THE BOOSTER AND ALL THAT OTHER SHIT UNDER THE HOOD

i agree with running an 18x7 in the front.  i run 18x7 with 4.25" bs on my 1st gen and theysit pretty nicely in the fender.  i had to put 18x8 with 4.5" bs in the front for a weekend and they would not tuck.

they were just too wide with not enough backspacing.
