I have stock toyota rims. If you go to the home page link on the left side of the screen and scroll down a little bit you can see the rims that I have. On the rims it says "offset 8". Now I know that the offset is not 8", but what is the offset? Would I need new wheels in order to fit 33x10.5 tires? What offset if I need new rims would you suggest I get?

I'm not sure the difference between offset and backspacing, but i would recommend 3.75" backspaced wheels if you get new. I say this because if you ever want to put an ifs lift on your vehicle it requires 3.75" or less backspacing.

A 10.50 tire will work fine on a 6-8" wide rim.

Offset us the distance from the hub mounting surface to the centerline of the wheel.
I agree with you. I can't see your wheel having an 8" offset. Could it have said something like "+ offset 8" "? Which would mean positive offset, 8" wide wheel.
Just a thought.

in order to find out what offset of wheel you have all you have to do is take a measurment from where the wheel mounts up to the hub to the end of the wheelthat will give you the offset of the whe wheel

That measurement will give you backspacing. Offset is measured from the wheel center to the mount surface. The "+ offset 8" says the mounting surface is 8mm to the inside of the wheel centerline. Which will put the wheel closer to the outside of the truck. Hope this helps! Later... |
