    Ok, I hate these threads but it doesn't seem anyone else has these rims. I'm looking at the Vision Scorpions. They are 16" x 8" with a 4.5" backspace and 0 offset. The currents wheels I have are 16" x 8" with 4" backspace and -11 mm offset. They fit fine but I have to use 1/4" spacers on the front wheels to clear the calipers. According to what I figure, without the -11 mm offset, I can lose the spacers. Thoughts?

    My wheels are the same specs. 0 os and 4.5 bs 16x8. Fit just fine.

    It might depend on the actual rim design, but the math works.

    Are you running spacers? I just got the wheels and they rub the calipers. I'm wondering if they sent me the wrong ones. They also said they'd be the right fit. Sent them an email.

    No spacers. I don't know why they wouldn't work. Is there some kind of oddball shape on the back/inside of the wheel? That sucks!

    I figured you weren't running spacers. I'm thinking they must've sent me the wrong ones. It's rubbing that little spot on the caliper where it sticks out about an 1/8".

    The wheels contacting the caliper has a lot more to do with spoke design than backspacing.

    I thought it may have most to do with the backspace but I could be wrong. right now just waiting on the supplier to get back to me.

    Hopefully the decreased backspacing will move you far enough away from the spokes. I was just saying that there isn't a magic backspacing number that will or will not work across the board.
