    If an oem 16X7 rim has 12mm positeve offset with 4.5 backspace, and an aftermarket 16X8 rim has a 0mm offset and a 4.5 backspace, whats the distance the aftermarket wheel will extend further outward from the fender compartment compared than the oem wheel...12mm?

    this site will show a side by size comparison of the existing and new wheel/tire setup

    Forget offset. It’s a garbage measurement.


    Backspace is perfect to use. If both wheels have the same backspacing, then the entire 1 inch extra width will be on the outside edge of the wheel

    :rolleyes:
    they're both important for overall wheel/tire measurements. if you are comparing different width wheels then just backspace doesnt help

    They are two different measurements of the same thing. Backspacing is just easier to picture IMO. No matter what wheel I’m looking at, if i know the backspacing, then I’ll be able to instantly know how it will fit on the hub. Backspacing is also the same regardless of wheel width

    but fender poke will be different so backspacing doesn't help then. That's what I'm trying to get at.

    The oe wheel is only a +12?

    I thought they were closer to 5.5 inches of backspacing

    I imagine the Toyota 16" wheel backspacing changes. I thought I had the correct backspacing for my stock rims copied, but I don't and thereby could or am wrong about 4.5 backspacing for my stock wheels.
    I've just read from FJ Cruiser Forums that the Toyota wheel PT904-35070 is not 12mm but is 15mm offset with 4.85 backspacing.
