Offset and BS question

kozy · 04-02-2008, 07:05 PM

Hi all,

Quick question. I've ordered a 2" levelling kit and have a set of 35x12.50" X-terrains for an 18" rim. My question, what kind of offset and backspacing could I use? I'm looking at a set of 18x9 XD Diesels on ebay and the auction says they have a 0mm offset and 5" of backspacing. Will that combo work with my intended levelling kit and tire selction? What kind of offset and BS do stock wheels have? This is not a bush wagon so it won't be flexed out at anytime but I want to make sure I'm not goin to rub the LCA's at full turn or when pulling into parking spots, the driveway etc.

You will be alright, they will rub slightly at full lock. Preferably you would want 5.5" + of BS. Stock 17X8 aluminum wheels are 6" BS (Pretty sure). That would be about a +40 offset.
