From the Dodge site Tech info site, both 16X7 and 16X8 have a 25.4mm offsets. Hope that helps a bit.

Perfect, thanks!


Actually, that doesn't make sense. If the factory offset is +25.4mm then the backspacing would be around 5". If that is the case then anyone with a 4.5" backspaced wheel should work and I'm sure I've seen guys on here that said a 4.5" backspace doesn't work with 265's

Hopefully someone can chime in on these measurements, Dodge site says 16X8X25.4mm, 16X7X25.4mm. Maybe this page can help.

I'm certainly no expert on these #'s. BTW, I have 265's on the 16X8's.
