Hello fellow Jeepers, I have a question about wheels. I'm looking into getting some Method race wheels (non-beadlock) but have a few questions before pulling the trigger. On the websites I'm looking at, they keep saying that the offset is 0mm but no mention of backspacing. How do I know if this is enough to run 37's? I know I need to run at least 4.5 or less of BS but can't find any info on how much BS they have. As well, is a 8.5 in wide wheel enough to run 37's?

This is what I would like to run:



As well feel free to give me any other ideas on which wheels to run. I'd like to run a black wheel. Here is what they will be going on.

 

Do some research to find out what the common backspacing is on those wheels... or, at least, call whomever you plan on purchasing them from to ensure you get a 4.5" backspace or smaller.

You can run widths up to a 12.50" wide tire on an 8.5" wheel, if memory serves me correctly.

 

If it's zero offset, that means it's exactly halfway on the rim making it 4.25" backspacing which is fine for a 12.5" wide tire.

 

Sweet! Thanks for the info

 

Also look at the KMC Addicts. I just put them on mine and they look fantastic.

 

Not quite. When measuring backspacing you have to add for the lip of the wheel front and back. Example: An 8" wheel actually measures 9", 0 offset would be 4.5 backspacing. 8.5" width wheel 0 offset would be 4.75" backspacing. 9" wheel with a 0 is 5" backspacing, -6 offset is like 4.75 and -12 is 4.5" or so. Someone correct me if I'm wrong here...

 

17x9 Addicts with a -12 offset would have a 4.5" backspacing and are the wheels I almost ordered today. Still deciding...

 

You are right You have to account for the wheel flange.

The Method Wheels are 8.5" wide with a 0 offset which means the backspace is 4.75"

 

Went ahead and ordered some Fuel Boost wheels! Should be here next Tuesday

 

We have a set of those in my shop. They look MUCH better in person!! Mine came in today now just need time to put them on...
