    Offset and backspacing question

    Hi,
    I have a 97 Chevy Tahoe with a 2 inch block lift on it and I'm trying to decide what rims will work and not stress my hubs to the breaking point and just fit the car without rubbing of any sort. The rims I'm thinking about getting have an offset of -6.00mm and a backspacing of 4.25in. Would that rim strain the hub too much or should it be fine? Also I'm going to be running bfg all terrains 285/75/16 if that helps. Any tips would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    How wide are the wheels you are talking about? the offset/backspacing numbers are useless without knowing how wide of a wheel you are working with

    Hey thanks for the reply, but Ive talked to the guy at my tire shop awhile ago and figured everything out. (It was an 8 inch rim if you still care to know haha)

    I ran 4" BS on a x8 with no problems at all.
