Wheel questions
So i have to buy new rims for my Dodge ram 2500 -97. I have 37x13,5'' tires and only 8'' rims right now. The only place i could find that sells rims wider than 8'' is summit racing, but i was sort of confused when i read the specs for 2 rims that i was interested in.
So rim nr1 has these specs Wheel Diameter: 16 in. Wheel Width (in): 12.000 in. Backspacing (in): 4.375 in. Offset: -54.00mm Rim nr2 Wheel Diameter: 16 in. Wheel Width (in): 12.000 in. Backspacing (in): 4.375 in. Offset: -25.00mm How is it possible that they have different offset when the backspacing and width is the same? Anyone have any idea what measurements i should have? I don't know what offset etc i have right now but the tires are grinding the control arms when i turn the wheels too much.. Also, center diameter of the wheel, is it important to have the exactly right diameter when you have such big wheels? |
Hope this diagram explains it, It's the way it's made. You can have the same measurements but still have a larger offset.
