Other than driving my dad's 04 d-max, I am new to the diesel and 2500 game. I, like many others, do not like the look of the rear wheels sitting farther inside the wheel well than the front, however......I am extremely picky on somethings and I can't seem to find but one set of wheel adapters that I think are reliable and I can't bring myself to pay $300 for just rear adapters. So.... my question is....if I were to shop for some new rims for my 2500HD, when I buy a set made for this truck, will the backspacing or offset of the rear wheels automatically be greater than that of the front such that the front and rear will be sitting even with each other, or will the rear sill be sitting farther in than the rear?

I've never shopped for or looked at the backspacing and offset of wheels for these trucks and was just trying to figure out the best way to get them even with each other (front and back).

Also.......if the rims do have more offset of backspacing for the rear, how does that affect the rotating of tires? You wouldn't be able to simply put the front on the back and back on the front. ??


Thanks.

Well if you fixed it by getting two different offset wheels, you couldn't rotate the tires without breaking down the tires and changing the tires on the rims each time.. Otherwise when you rotate you'll be back in the same boat you are now..

Right, not nearly worth trying to correct IMO, and it bothers me too. One thing, the larger you go in tire size, the more it enhances this. I had a K5 Blazer in 33's, and following it in a lane next to it you'd swear it had a bent frame or something; the way it appeared to crab walk down the road. The slightly wider front track width is an intentional design for better handling from what I understand.
