    Can someone tell me how much the SR8 wheel will stick out as opposed to the stock wheel?

    Offsets and backspacing confuses me. I have dislexia when it comes to this stuff.

    Please don’t be an ass.

    If you can put it into layman’s for me that would be great mmmmmmkay

    If you go with the 16x8 it shows it has 4" backspacing and stock is 4.5" on a 16x7. So those wheels would stick out 1.5" more than stock. The .5 difference in backspacing and the 1" wider wheel.

    Thank you. So where does the offset come in to play? I like how the stock wheels look with 1.25” spacers. Could you perhaps tell
    Me what offset and backspacing I should look for in a wheel when I want no more than 1.25” of the sidewall to stick out from the fender?

    It can be confusing.

    Im shitty at math, but Im pretty sure it is like this;

    If backspacing = 1/2width of wheel you have 0 offset

    If backspacing > 1/2 width of wheel you have positive offset

    If backspacing < 1/2 width of wheel you have negative offset




    Less offset = wider front track width (makes wheel stick out further)

    More offset = narrower front track width

    I know the Tacoma’s have a variety of “stock” wheels. Do they all have the same backspacing? For example, the stock wheels on an SR5 vs factory “beadlocks”.

    Nope. Depends on the width and design of the wheel.

    Stock specs for tacoma's:
