why am I on instagram?

 

I posted a photo of you me and josh

 

What's your instagram user name

 

Mine is monte_n

 

O haha I just it and pretty sure that's brettb on here.

 

Que pasa, so how does back spacing on wheels work. Do the stock wheels have like zero back spacing?

 

basically backspacing is the distance from the inside rim edge to the mounting surface where the lugs go

so a wheel with 3.25" BS will stick out further from the truck than a wheel with 4" BS.

the less BS = the more the wheel will stick out from the truck


i'm sure someone will go into it in more detail but thats the basics

 

Nada, Y tu?

Back spacing is how many inches the mounting surface of the wheel is from the inner lip.

So say you have an 8" wheel with 4.5" of BS. That means the mounting surface if dead center of the wheel. Wheel have a 1/2" lip on both side of them so an 8" wheel is really 9" wide, which is why 4.5" is the center of an 8" wheel. The less backspacing you have the more your wheels stick out.

Offset is how many mm the mounting surface is from center. An 8" wheel with 4.5" BS has a 0mm offset because it is centered. An 8" wheel with 3.5" BS is going to have something like a 25.4mm offset (I can't remember which way is positive and negative off the top of my head though). I think it will be negative though when the wheel is further from the vehicle.

 

Hmm thanks! So if I wanted the equivlent of having 1.25in wheel spacers on my stock 16in wheels, how much back spacing would I want? 7.25?

 

No. Other way around. Spacers "decrease the backspacing value"

 

Sorry, I worded that last question poorly. I want to get new wheels, how much bs will I want on new wheels in order to have the equivalent of 1.25 in wheel spacers on my stock wheels? Thanks

 

Alright boys. Snowy range meet on Saturday. Jeff and I will be camping over night and leaving in the morning. PM me if you want to come out.

 

3.25" BS

Just take the stock bs, 4.5" and subtract the 1.25" spacers would add.

3.25 isn't a popular choice. But 3.5 or 3.75 is.

 

What time are you headed to snowy?

 

Not sure yet. Probably leave saturday around 10-12.

 

I was just in the snowies on Wed afternoon on the way from Baggs to Laramie the colors are nearing peak, aspens are beaut! Also there was a huge herd of elk near centennial, probably around 200 head, really cool, lots of bugling. Wish I could meet you guys down there Too much to do this weekend.

 

I'd join you but not sure if I'll be up that way tomorrow. I'm down in Fort Collins right now going to riot fest in Denver later today. I'll see what you're up to tomorrow or Sunday.

 

Saturday I probably won't have service. Nothing is finalized though other than Jeff willing to buzz over for camping trip.

 

I'm likely headed to WY this weekend. Though not much farther than Alpine I'm sure. My wife and I are just heading to Palisades to check out all the fall colors everyone has been raving about around here.

 

Come to Lander Brady
