Wheel backspace/offset to widen track

Can anyone tell me what backspace or offset you go to in order to widen a Tacoma's track about 1 1/2" or 2"? I tried the search several different ways but haven seen anyone explain what offset or backspace I would need to go to. Thanks if you can help.

That stickied thread has a bunch of good information in it.

 

Example for reference: 265/75/16 lifted 1.75 in the front. 16x8.5 -6 Offset and 4.51 backspace. Zero rub/issues

 

Thanks......

 

Primo 95, I should have asked how much did that combo push the track out (per wheel)? Hard to tell from the angle of the photo, but looks like about 2".

 

Here's a great little tool to help you visualize what different tires sizes, widths and wheel offsets provide.

 

What’s your current wheel width and offset?

 

I just got the truck yesterday and have not pulled a wheel off. They are stock wheels now.

 

My setup sticks out 2" outside fender. I suggest you spend several weeks reading about wheels/tires on Tacoma World. Not all wheels will fit Tacomas and there are tons and options to pick from as far as wheels/tires go.
Also when you have wider wheels/tires...it will make your Tacoma dirty very easily, it will chip your paint, and it will makes it a make a lot more noise/hum. Of course it looks cool.

Good Luck

 

Thanks Primo.

 

Punch your stock specs in and start messing with em to figure out what wheel width/offset you’re looking for.


Alternatively, you can always just add wheel spacers to the stock wheels. The most common spacers added to these trucks is 1.25” Spidertrax.

Search for “Spidertrax on stock wheels”, that should get you moving as well.

 

Yes, I have used spacers on another truck and they seem to be well made and are working fine.
