1 mm as opposed to 0 mm Offset

That looks just fine. Does it cause the tires to be just slightly further outside the wheel well or is that because your tire is turned slightly?

 

Google all you want - but stock steelies are not 8" wide and do not have 0mm offset.

unsubbed.

 

Not talking steelies. They are alloys and they are 2mm offset on the 2015s

 

Pic is the Rear wheel all the tread is covered by the wheel well

 

I'm pretty sure that some companies will say either +1mm or +0mm offset when they mean the same thing, I have +1mm offset wheels and they're the same as a 0

 

Your stock wheels do not have a 2mm offset. Post a picture of your wheels and we'll be able to tell you exactly what the specs are.

 

1 mm may make a difference. All depends on how the back of the rim was designed. I have had rims that you couldn't even put a credit card between the brake calipers and the rim.

What you want to make sure of when buying new rims, is that they clear the calipers.

 

LOTS of misinformation here...

you cannot compare offsets of wheels of different widths. you need to look at all the dimensions, including back space. offset is where the hub pad is relating to the center of the width of the wheel.

the stock aluminum trd and steel wheel is a 16x7 +32offset. that means the width is 177.8 mm , with a 120.9 mm backspace (4.75"). i just took pics of my stock steelies, and that is in fact the correct number.


quick backspace measurement confirming ~4.75" backspace


i had 8" wheels on my 11' taco. they were 16x8 with +0 offset. that means the hub pad was dead center in the wheel, with 4" of wheel behind it and 4" in front of it. compared to stock, that wheel had .75" of an inch more clearance on the inside (more clearance for a wider tire), and 1.75" less clearance on the outside. this will explain why i had to remove the mudflaps when running larger 265/76 tires, because the tire are pushed further out rubbing the flaps when turning.

 

How about a full body side view too ? Thank you sir!

 

Here are pictures.

 

That's odd. Those are TRD OffRoad wheels on an SR5? Huh.

16x7", 32mm offset, 5.25" bs

 

You seem to know wheels. Will I have any issues with these?

Well... I know how to look stuff up. And when it's the same wheels I have it's pretty easy.

Seems to me that those wheels you're looking at have very similar specs to other popular Tacoma wheels, like Level 8 MK6. The 1mm offset is odd, why not just 0? Shrug. Seems they'd fit w/o problems.

 

Those actually aren't TRD OR specific wheels, they just happen to come standard on all TRD OR's. However, they come on many SR5's as well, just aren't standard on SR5 like they are on TRD OR.

The specs you stated are correct for those wheels though.

Whether those wheels work for you without any rubbing will depend on what size tire you're running. Like someone already mentioned earlier in the thread, stock will fit, oversize will not.

 

That's why several people asked for width and offset, no one was comparing offset's alone on different width's.

 

So I consulted with Tire Rack Tech and they told me if I want stock wheel fitment positioning in the wells, I would need to go with a 45mm offset on the 8 inch wheels and they have nothing that will work? What?? The Mongoose I was looking at with a 10mm offset the guy said would stick outside the wheel well by almost 2 inches? I'm confused...Lots of folks here buy new wheels and I don't see the tires sticking outside of the wells by 2 inches. Tire Rack says stick with Tacoma wheels, but that's not what I want.

 

Agreed. Poor choice of words on my part.

 

Another person just said the 16x8 Mongoose wheel with the 10mm offset will fit fine and will not extend outside of the wheel well at all> How can I find out who is right? These guys are suppose to be wheel dealers?

Anybody know> The existing wheel is in fact a 16x7 Alloy with a 32mm offset

 

Lots of "opinions", but you have to decide for yourself in the end. Basically, your 7" wide wheels(measured at inner beads) are actually approx. 8" wide(outer edge to edge), so a 0mm offset would give you a 4" b/s, and a +32mm offset would add approx. 1.25" of b/s, which now would be 5.25"(oem). So, a new 8" wide rim would need approx. 3/4"(18-19mm?) offset to keep your b/s the same as oem....simple right??
