    I have been searching this topic to death but I get conflicting results every time I find something.

    Here's the deal, I'm about to order 16x8 rims so I can use my tires that are pretty much new anyway.

    What my goal is. I want the extra inch so the wheel is a little wider than my stock 16x7. I'd also like to know what backspacing I would need to clear my caliper. I'd like to go a little wider on that too so that will push my tires out even further.

    Sorry if this has been asked before but like I said, every time I search I find a different answer.

    Thank

    I have 16x8 with 4 inches of backspacing currently. I clear the calipers and it's plenty stanced out (an inch wider on both sides than what was stock on my truck)

    Cool, thanks for the reply

    So from what I gather I'll need 0 offset with 4 to 4.5" backspacing. I am pretty sure that is what I need to look for.

    I want the level 8 MK6 wheels. I found them in these specs;

    Backspacing 4.110
    Offset -10mm
    Center Bore 106.10

    Would this work?

    Those level 8 wheels should work, but if you want something even cooler, check out our SR8 model;)

    Thanks SCSP!

    I really like the Stealth 6 but I don't want to do 17"
    The other one I'm not really crazy about. Reminds me of a Honda Civic rim.

    Would the -10mm give me the stance I'm looking for with the tires sticking out some?
