Gotta question about offsett

[Ponyboy]

I'm sure this has been discussed many times but I can't find those older threads. I'm currently running 1.5-inch spacers on stock wheels and tires and like the stance and look of the truck so if I were buying some Fuel Rebels, for example, would the offset I want be -9 in order to match what I'm currently running?

I think it would be closer to 0 or -12, never seen -9 but it would be in the middle. It also depends upon if the wheel width changes from 8.5 to 9 or 9.5. Your gonna pick up 1/4 inch or more in extra width if it's a wider wheel.

You can check my thread out on my Method 18x9 -12 with 295s. It looks good and plenty of width. You will get some more rock chips on the side.

Keeping the same 8.5" rim width you would need -12 to match the 1.5" spacers.
I believe the Stock wheel is 8.5" +26mm offset or 5.77" backspace.
25.4mm=1" so 1.5"=38.1mm
+26mm-38.1mm=-12.1mm
After think about it for a bit, the -12mm offset would center the rim the same for any rim width.
8.5" rim -12mm offset would be ~4.27" backspace
9" rim -12mm offset would be ~4.52" backspace
4.52-4.27=.25 which is half of the .5" width difference

Just my .02 worth
