Okay going blank here. On a NBS to tuck what's the backspace needed, on a 22x8 or 22x8.5 front 22x10 rear? I'm thinking 7" rear but can't rember the front, is it 6" or 6.5"?

22x8.5 needs 6 inches of BS
22x10 needs 7.5 inches of BS

I would have to say that a 22x10 w/ 7.5" of backspace is too much for these trucks. On that wide of a wheel you will definitely rub on the inner fenders and suspension when turning at full lock.

the 8.5 will work just fine since it's narrower.

im running 22 x 10 in the front with 7.5" backspacing and it's very very close to being a huge pain in the ass turning

i would defintly go no wider than 8.5 in the front imo

20x9 with 5.75" is what my dad has on the nbs. It's very close on a 255.

I wouldn't have gone 22x10 up front, but my friend that i was asking for did. we'll see how it works out for him.

Take a note of this guys because It's asked about a million times here.

I have the same set up as mentioned.
