Happy long weekend, hopefully everyone is relaxing, healthy and happy!


Just found a great deal on some pro comp wheels, and wondering if anyone has pictures of tires on -12mm offset w/ 4.0 inch back spacing. I'm not good wheel specs so I can't visualize what it would look like. I tried to google but couldn't find much for pictures.

Thanks!

Offset and backspace are two different ways to describe th same thing, how far away from center of rim the mounting plate is.
Your stock rims have 4.5” backspace, so a 4” backspace would move the wheels out a half inch.
 






Thank you, I’ve never had after market wheels. That would be a good fit since my sport wheels/rims seem to be tucked in a bit.
 






Stock rims should be 15x7”. If these aftermarket rims are wider, say 8” or 10”, they will stick out that additional amount on top of the half inch, just so you know.
 






These rims I’m looking at are 16x8. My stock rims are 16inch too. For some reason wheel sizing just really confuses me.

All good, you seem to always have some helpful input on my dumb questions I’ve been posting lately haha. Now I just need to find proper lug nuts for these rims. So many choices and styles...
