Rims

ok can someone give me a lesson on rims? i have an 06 dbl cab taco, 6 lug. but i dont know what backspacing and the lug pattern and stuff means. please help

 

Its a 6 on 5.5 pattern.

 

ah thanks so much. what offset looks good?

 

I think between a 4.5 and 5.5, im not sure 100%. I've never owned a set of aftermarket
wheels, ive always been stock and upgraded the tires.

 

6x137.9mm 0r 6x5.5, 4.5-5.5" backspacing. looks depends on what kinda tires your gonna get

 

if you go with a wide tire you might want to look into 4.25" or even 4" backspacing

 

back spacing is the distance from the backside of the wheel mounting pad to the outside of the rim flange.

Lug pattern is determined by the number of bolt holes and the bolt circle diameter they form.

Offset is the distance from the centerline (width divided by 2) of the wheel to the back of the wheels bolt pad or mounting surface. Offset can be a positive or negative number. Negative offset is when the back of the bolt pad is closer to the inside of the wheel; when the mounting surface is inboard of the rim centerline. Positive offset is when the back of the bolt pad is closer to the street side of the wheel; when the mounting surface is outboard of the rim centerline.

Hope this helps.

 

helped quite a bit thanks

 

I just ordered some 17x8's with a 4 backspace and a 0 offset. I plan to run 295/70/17's with them hopefully. Some trimming will be involved.

 

I have KMC Enduros at 0 Offset and a 4.5 Backspacing. It sticks out more than stock...and looks nice.

 

picture?

 

You can't really tell how far they stick out on these pictures but here you go anyways.

Kings set at 2.5 in the front and TSB in the rear. Those are also the Stock Rugged Trails 265/70/16.

 

• 18x9, 6 on135 And 6 on5.5 Bolt Pattern
• Backspace 4.53 in.
• Max Load = 2200lbs
• Finish = Matte Black
• Hubcentric = No
• Offset = -12 mm

how would that look on an 06 double cab? i want them to stick out but not out over 2 inches from the fender

 

If your numbers are correct and assuming you are starting with 17 X7.5 stock rims with a 30mm offset, you will lose no clearance on the inboard side and the outboard side will extend out an additional 1.5" farther than the stock wheels.
