How would I be able to tell what the backspacing is on these wheels? Thanks in advance.

is says it right on that page 16X8 6-5.5 ... those are some nice looking rims i see ur going for that all black look

 

:pat: That's not the backspacing, that's the size of the rim and the bolt hole pattern offset measurement... I didn't see a BS measurement on that page.

 

Unless I missed something 16 x 8 is the size of the wheel and 6-5.5 is the bolt pattern. I don't think that indicates backspacing unless I missed that class.LOL Yes I am going all black.

 

lack of sleep made me skip right over that lol

 

I think it has something to do with that 139.7? after the size and bolt pattern.

 

No, I don't think so. I think that's the bolt pattern measurement given in millimeters, and then in inches for us Americans...

 

139.7 is metric bolt spacing.... with google search backspacing is 5"

 

Oh suuure... Just Google it and make it easy, you cheater.

 

That wheel is going to hug the truck too much I would say. I think stock is like 4.75 or 4.5, and the lower you go, the more the wheel sticks out. I have 16x8 with 4" BS, and they are wide, I'd stay away from those if you plan on going with bigger tires, they'll probably rub the arms, and/or frame. If you do get that style, ditch those corny center caps.

The guys at Discount Tire said they were 4.25. I guess we will see when they come in Tues. or Wed.

 

yeah thats what i got on mine.

 

hahaha, I took off mine too, I picked up $80 Pro Comps, and they had the caps that said XTreme. I got a snicker from people sometimes, and my buddies kind of ragged on me for it. That is the only downside to cheap wheels, they usually have corny center caps. Why can't they just make them plain?!?!?!?!

I can never remember what the stock backspacing is, I think it's 4.75, so 4.25 would definately stick farther out(should look good, really gives it a nicer stance)
