    If I could get what there worth, i'd get something like a 39.5 15/16 range tsl. Figure with the wider width axles, I might as well stuff some fatter tires under there. Dennis

        Out of curiousity, It looks like you could run like a 3.25 or even a 4" backspace and be OK? I have 4.25 rims, and am a good 2.5" from my rear leafs. The way I see things, going up to a tire that issay 3" wider, really only adds 1.5" each side of the tire, so a 3-4" bs would work. And the front appears to have plenty of room. Im just looking at your pics, and looking at the space you have, and what i have now.

          Yea, they're still for sale. If you're interested in them I'll make you a good deal with or without the wheels. The wheels are 16x10 with 2.75in backspacing. Like you said that much backspacing isn't necessary but I like the extra width and I can definitely say I loved my width on the trail. My truck sidehills like crazy, is extremely stable, and the body stays off the rocks/ruts/trees. I wouldn't run a wheel with anything more than 3.5in backspacing in the woods personally. Also, they don't make the 39.5 TSL in a 16in rim. Only a 15in, 16.5, and a 17in coming soon. Something to consider.
