Wheels/Offsets

[Kerry DeLizio]

I have the 18" chrome clad wheels on my '07 Sport Trac. I am running 1.25"

spacers on all four corners. I want new chrome wheels with an offset that

will give me the same appearance but without the spacers. How do I

figure the offset that I will need?

there are tons of sites that will help you calculate that..



I think if you do a search on google for "offset calculator" or something along those lines you should find some help. People here are a little tired of answering wheel/offset questions over and over so that probably explains the lack of responses :wacko:

You need to know the offset of the factory rims in mm. Then add the the spacers in mm. 25.4mm to the inch. 1.25"x 25.4= 31.75mm. 31.75mm + factory offset mm = your present offset. Next you need to know present rim width and the rim width & offset of the new wheel mm. Then you can determine if they will fit.

Hope that helps.

Fast Eddie is mostly correct, except that you need to subtract 31.75mm from the factory offset (or backspacing) in order to get your working offset (or backspacing). Spacers decrease working offset, not increase.

I would suggest going here:



www.bigwheels.net



It tells you EXACTLY what fits and what doesn't!

Tiger is correct. I forgot that part.
