For those that dont understand backspacing and offset
Alot of people on here keep asking about how to measure backspaing and offset, so heres a pic i had.
The correct or should say best offset for our trucks is 0 - 4 mm offset.and the best backspace is:
4" with a 7" rim
4.5" with a 8" rim
4.75" with a 8.5" rim
feel free to add extra rim sizes and widths if you want.
EDIT! I was looking at my original post, and now realized why it is confusing some people, the offset desired will change for the width of the rim. I posted a 0-4mm offest... I should of posted this
7" --- 0 - 4mm
8" --- 4 - 10mm
8.5" --- 5 - 15mm
now these are just approximations, the wheels you chose can vary from these measurements a little and still work.
