So my american racing chrome rims got a hole in them from corrosion... I have never seen this before but i am thinking about getting these.

What do you guys think

 

In regards to durability, these are some of the most common wheels as far as jeeps go, soft 8's I belive is what they commonly go buy.

They are good wheels and even easier to repair if they dent or anything.

Low maiteinence and look good!

 

yes soft 8's is the craiger brand. I love the simple look

 

Yeah, they look very much like the Cragar Soft 8 wheels. About the same price too, I think I like the Cragar 8s a little more though, probably due to the larger holes.

And watch which ones that you buy, your link has a -6mm offset!

 

didnt notice that all i cared about was that i wanted it to be the same offset as my american racing. What does offset change.

 

Offset changes how far out the wheel (and tire) sits. A low offset pushes the wheel out, stock offset on OEM 16x8 wheels is (+) 25.44mm.
The -6 mm offset will push the wheels way out, and you tires gonna rub BAD on the front splash guard and front bumper fascia.

Most wheels come in certain offsets, a common offset available is 18mm, which will work fine.
Make sure it's not -18mm, the difference with that single dash, meaning negative offset is huge.

 

okay so not only do i have to look at backspacing but also offset?

Okay i checked my curent wheel specs and this matches it lol

 

Well, backspace and offset work hand in hand. If you find the right offset, the backspace will be correct. Backspace is more a concern when you go from, say, a 16x6 wheel to a 16x8 wheel with the same offset.

But on a lot of wheel sites, the offset is not listed, but the backspace is listed. So you can still choose the wheel with only the backspace measurement, as long as the new wheel width is the same.

 

A 4.5 backspace on a 16x8 wheel is a 0 (zero) offset. I'm not sure what your current wheel offset is, but it is usually stamped on the back of the wheel.

FYI, backspace on our stock Dakota 16x8 wheels is 5.5".
