whats everybody think of these wheels?

[Kspen90]

Theyre a 16x10 ion alloy but my only concern is they have a -38 offset and im concerned theyre going to stick out from the truck too far and make it look like one of those stupid old school lowriders. Does anybody know how many inches the lip on the outside of the wheel will be with the -38 offset? Thanks in advance for the knowledge:thumb:

sweet :thumb: mine have 0 offset and the front tires only stick out an inch with 285/60/18's

The offset has little to do with the size of the lip. It has more to do with the design of the wheel. Some wheels the spokes angle from the hub to the outer bead surface. Some wheels the spokes angle from the hub to the inner bead surface. Some the hub surface is very deep so the lug nuts don't stick out. Some the lug nuts are completely exposed.

Well.....i guess the more accurate question would be how far from the hub should the wheel stick out?

need to know the backspacing.

The hub is 38 mm inside the center of the wheel. In other words, if you have a 10" wide wheel, the center would be at 5" (obviously), and with a -38 mm offset, the hub would be another 1.5" (approximately equal to 38 mm) toward the inside rim of the wheel. So the outer rim would be approximately 6.5" from the wheel mounting surface on the hub.

Thanks Josh, sorry for my ignorance when it comes to tire and wheel specs everybody

We were all there once and still are to a certain degree. Nobody knows everything. That's what the forum is here for.
