what do you guys think of this rim?
it's a 17x9 with +10 backspace
how does that compare to a 4.75 backspace? I don't understand the difference...

btw, I'm planning on 33/12.50x17 and eventually 35's will this work?

 

Go to the sticky at the top of this page for FAQ. It is explained very well. Good luck.

 

right, I read it but i just don't understand backspacing very well, I don't understand the difference between what a 4.75 in inches is and a +10 backspace.
that is what i need explained.

 

Something sounds wrong there. Could ??? mean +1" (positive offset) ??? With the mounting surface in the center, offset is zero and with lets say a 10" wide wheel the backspace would be 5". Now you can have positive and negitive offset. This moves the mounting surface out or in towards the axle.

 

The +10 sounds more like millimeters of offset, not backspacing. Some rim manufacturers list offset rather than backspace. The faq above explains the difference in these 2 measurements quite well.

 

DOH!!! MY FAULT GUYS!
it is +10 OFFSET.
sorry, but it doesn't list a backspacing.....

here is the link to the same rim.
the ones they have in stock at my tire store are 17x9 +10 OFFSET
what about backspace??? after reading the FAQ i still don't get it....
so i guess my question is......

on a 17x9 rim, a +10 offset = fow much backspace?

I'm sorry i don't understand the FAQ, I just need some help.
