Wheel spacing info for lowered trucks

[Devs93]

I didnt come up with this chart I copied it but it makes breaking down a wheel choice simple. Hopefully it will become a sticky.


Thank's and I will repost it here These numbers are for stock track width, static dropped trucks.

These numbers are the absolute minimum and will keep the wheel inside the fenders. Your wheel diameter, tire selection and drop will be the desiding factors in whether or not you have to roll/modify inner fenders/lips.

When you're looking to buy a wheel, you will need to know either the Offset or backspacing of the wheel. If you're looking at a wheel and it doesn't meet the specified numbers for it's width, it will not tuck and there's no chance with your stock track width. so this is to help with wheel selection.

The key number you need to assess is the front spacing. it needs to be 4.25" or less. If the front spacing on the wheel is higher than that it will not matter what the backspacing is because it will never tuck

the Categories are the width:

7"
Offset:-6mm or higher
Backspacing:3.75" or higher

8"
Offset:+6mm or higher
Backspacing:4.75" or higher

8.5"
Offset:+12mm or higher
Backspacing:5.25" or higher

9"
Offset:+19mm or higher
Backspacing:5.75" or higher

9.5"
Offset:+25mm or higher
Backspacing:6.25" or higher

10"
Offset:+30mm or higher
Backspacing:6.75" or higher

10.5"
Offset:+38mm or higher
Backspacing:7.25" or higher

11"
Offset:+45mm or higher
Backspacing:7.75" or higher

12"
Offset:+63.75mm or higher
Backspacing:8.75" or higher __________________

Anyone have any insight into tahoes ? I want the widest tire I can fit in the rear once its time . Ill prob still be using my ss wheels, my 235/75s rub on the top part of the wheel well when it travels up

 

[Devs93]

I think the front should be the same the back im not real sure of though maybe somone can give you more insight

2dr ....how many damn trucks you guys have lol

my trucks have never rubbed in the wheel well like my 2dr does , on the outside of the tire . Which leads me too belive I cant run as wide a tire as the trucks

That's probably true.

Will a 24x10 with +30mm offset 6.7" backspaceing fit a 94rcsb with a 3/5 possibly 4/6 drop? Running a 255/30 tire
