Apr 16, 2019 · Let's say you have a 13 inch wide tire on an 8 inch wheel, 0 offset, 4.5 inch backspacing. The actual wheel width is 9 inches edge to edge, 2 inches of sidewall bulge on each side. Let's switch that to a 10 inch wheel with 4.5 inch backspacing -25 offset. Actual edge to edge wheel width is 11 inches, one inch of sidewall hangs off each side.

Dec 18, 2018 · I’m piggy backing on this thread….im looking to purchase tires and wheels (probably a “D” ring style wheel at either 15 or 17” width. My rig is a 2005 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with a 3.5” full suspension lift. I need advice on the wheel width, offset/back spacing for a …

Dec 19, 2017 · If the specs don't list "backspacing" and only "offset" then find one with an offset close to zero. Zero offset on a 9" wide rim equals 4.5 bs. If the offset is negative (i.e. -12mm offset) than the bs is a tiny bit less than 4.5 and a positive offset (i.e. +12mm offset) than the bs is a tiny bit more than 4.5.

Jan 22, 2015 · So using the same formula as the wheel take 3.5" divided by 2 = 1.75" that you have moved the tire in closer to the suspension. Now the solution is to move the tire out away from the suspension by 1.75". So a factory wheel has a backspace of 6.25" plus 1.75" in moving it further out = a need of 4.5 Back spacing.

Aug 1, 2017 · The most common setup among JK owners is a 9 inch wide wheel with 4.5 inches of backspacing/-12mm offset with a 12.50 inch wide tire. j5 by Wandell Asbell , on Flickr j6 by Wandell Asbell , on Flickr

Nov 27, 2015 · So backspacing is the distance from the back edge of the wheel to the portion that sits against the rotor (my understanding: more backspacing = wheel farther in well; less backspacing= wheel further out from fender). Wheel width and offset dictate backspacing (correct me where I'm wrong, please).

Aug 15, 2019 · Offset and backspacing are just different ways to measure how much the wheel will be pulled in or pushed out, biggest difference is the offset measurement is dependent on the wheel width. I don't think your going to see much of a change though, 4.75 backspacing will only bring the wheel .25" inwards.

May 29, 2023 · The tire dealer tells me that wheels with a -15mm offset will stick out just over 1/2" further, which should be no big deal, but then I got thinking, if stock offset is 42.5(1.67") to 46.5(1.83"), then a -15mm offset means my wheels & tires will be sticking out 2.26" to 2.42" out further than the stock wheels & tires - which is quite a bit, and ...

Jul 25, 2023 · Hi all. I was wondering if anyone knows what the stock Jeep wheel offset and backspace measurements are. I found the wheels I want and they are 4.75 inch backspace with a -6 offset. Just want to make sure they won't sit more narrow than what I am currently running.

Oct 6, 2016 · Your net offset from stock is now 56 mm (over 2 inches). You are likely having dry pavement parking maneuver issues among other things. The reported backspace indicated this is a 9 inch wheel that was designed to push 12.50 inch tires out on a JK (Rim offset on JK's is 37 mm). You really need different rims for your tires.
