    6AF0FA81-8AEB-4AFF-94A2-9E5BAADCEA2B.jpg Hey everyone. I’m looking at buying front Bilstein 5100’s to level out my 2017 tacoma. I’m also looking at the scs f5’s. I’m wondering though, what is the BS measurement it gives you when selecting a size option? Backspacing?

    Backspace is the distance from the inside rim edge to the mounting surface.
    Since they are both 8" rim width=9" wheel width; 4.5" backspace is 0 offset and 3.5" backspace is -25mm offset. The 3.5 backspace will stick out 1" further than the 4.5" backspace.

    So the 3.5 will give you a more “deep dish” look with a lip right?

    Yes, typically it's more lip/same dish, same lip/more dish or a bit more lip/a bit more dish.
