Wheel Offset?

[00MTEDDIE]

I wanna get some cragar 16's but i want the tire out to right about flush with the fender flare. what offset do i need to make this possible?

Thanks.

The width of the wheel and width of the tire is going to matter, too. Not enough information.

I have 255/70r16 right now. i wanna go for 265/70 or 275/70 with like a 16x8.5 wheel.

For that width, you're probably going to need about 3.75" to 4.0" backspacing. Not sure of the exact offset numbers.

i have 255/70r16 on it now. i wanna go with some soft 8 cragar 16x8.5's with 275/ 70's or 265/70's. But what does 4 inch backspacing mean? and what tire would look the best for a wider stance?

Good luck finding a 16x8 with that backspacing almost every 16" rim is 4.5 to 5" or greater. Not sure why. I wanted the same thing.

Has anyone found a 16x8 wheel with 3" to 3.75" backspacing? It seems as if there should be a market for such a wheel.

Well apparently i didnt read the wheel specs right on my used wheels i got. they are apparently 15x8.5x15 -21offset so i went with 31x10.5x15 cooper at3s. they came out good. love the way the truck sits now with the new rear sensa trac shocks
