    what is the offset i need to fit 285/75R16

    some people manage to do it with the stock wheels, but they have rubbing issues if they aren't running a narrower tire. i have the wheelers type A rims that i believe are 4.5" backspacing. no issues. the b's are also popular with a 3.75" backspacing, but they cause the tires to stick way out...
