Is that stock paint ? If so what is the paint code ?

Yes it is stock paint (as far as I know). It's a 1996 Dark Blue Metallic IIRC. I'll grab the code tomorrow for you. I really like the color, waxed up, it's got deep color, considering it's age.

hey all,
I'm ready to pull the trigger on either the Soft 8's or the Circle D wheels.

PROBLEM: I can only find these is a 5.00in backspace. The competitors like Procomp and Summit offer a 4.00in backspace.

I have been reading and noticed that 4.5in backspace is the most I'd want to go if I run a 285.75.16(stock suspension). Is this correct??? Would 5.00in work, or am I asking for trouble with rubbing issues? Would 4.00in stick to far out?

Advice please!

Thanks,
MWNT

Anyone have thoughts on the backspacing issue?

Sorry man, didn't mean to sound like a jerk in my last post. Yes I am pretty set on the Circle D's, and the wife likes them too, so that helps. I am thinking 4.00in backspace, so that limits me to the ProComps or someone else other than Cragar.

its no big deal. i didnt even read the post about backspacing honestly. mine are 15x10s with 4.5 bs i believe.if your sticking with the 16" size i would say go with 5" bs. doesnt sound like much but stuff gets thrown up on my truck like no ones business. i dont mind it but some people do
