Some of you have asked, here are the pics. They only stick out about 1 inch in front. I cranked the TBars about 6 turns. Rides great too.

What is the backspacing/offset of those wheels you have? I am planning on either 16's or 18's myself right now.

-12mm offset which is alittle more than 4.5" BS

Stock wheels are 16 X 8?, and the 18X9's with the -12 should be the same, but I was looking at possibly running 18X8's so not sure what the ideal width should be. Guess I will go back to posting in my other thread so that I can get proper answers. Thanks

Stock pyo's are 16x6.5's with a 5 or 5.5 backspace.

I have the same exact wheels but mine seem to stick out way further, it could also be the wider tires too though. I like the look, but it makes a mess quick.

Heavy Duty, what BS/offset are you running on your wheels?

Well the most popular version of those wheels is the 18X9 -12MM with 4.5BS so I am thinking that is the one...

Maybe I'm not understanding BS correct but isn't a -12 offset a 12mm offset to the inside of the wheel giving it a BS of about 4.03 on a 9" wheel?

Isn't +(positive) offset moving the mounting location to the outside of the wheel and -(negative) moving to the inside (brake) side of the wheel?

I'm looking at 18x8.5 or 9's and figure I need a +25 offset on the 8.5 and I would still be out 1.625"

Stock wheel is 6.5 wide with 4.875 BS leaving 1.625 from mounting to outside rim of wheel.

8.5 wide with +25mm (1 inch) is (4.25+1) 5.25 BS leaving 3.25 to the outside rim of wheel for a diff of 1.625 farther out.

I have looked on here but not found it, this is the closest thread so far. New here, thinking of buying an 06 or 07 Chevy CC 4x4 D/A. My question is. Would a set of 305/70/16 BFGs rub on a set of these 951 wheels? (16x9 4.5 bs) I know I would have to crank torsions or buy a leveling kit but is that it? I ultimately want 285's but have the 305's now on my current truck and they are like new. Just trying to save $800.

I was just stating what appears to be the popular setup for purchasing those wheels at this time. Most will run a 4.5BS and that offset.
