Urgent Question, wheels offsets etc
alright so i just heard my new rims are ready to ship and they are 22x9.5, the size i wanted but the offset on them is 30mm. stock toyota is 15mm correct? will this mean that the wheels will stick out an additional 15mm from the current location? if this is the fact i need to cancel the order and try and find a similoar style with the correct offset. tires will be toyo proxy 305/40/22's
and please dont give me any crap about putting rims on 4wd, i like the look and dont take my truck offroading ever.

One quick clickie on the Search button yielded 111 threads on wheel offset and 174 on wheel backspacing...
Offset is no help.
Backspacing is the meaningful term, because offset changes with rim width. In other words, you have two rims that are the proper ones for your truck. One is 7" wide and the other is 8" wide. They will have the same backspacing but will not have the same offset.

Just a note... An increased positive offset figure means the wheel will sit farther _inboard_, not farther outboard. If you have 2 identical wheels, one with +30mm offset and the other with +15, the outside lip of the +15 wheel will end up being 15mm farther outboard / outward than the +30mm one.
This is because offset denotes the distance from the wheel's centerline to its mating / mounting surface. A positive (+) offset means the mating surface is outboard of the wheel's centerline, and the wheel will slide farther onto the hub (to inboard).

True, and good point, but only if both rims are the same size. If the +30 is 7 inches wide and the +15 is 10 inches wide - the 10" rim inner lip will be much farther (roughly 40mm) inboard than the 7. This is why Backspading is the term you want to use rather than offset.

i didnt want chrome because a) it doesnt look that good on my color rig
and b) its just way to bling and draws way to much attention
the black will match the grill guard, tint, and other parts it should look slick
