[QUOTE="tbsimmons, post: 963036, member: 2026"] With a tire it is harder. Lay the rim on the ground front side towards the ground. Lay a flat edge across the lip of the rim. Measure from the where the wheel touches the hub to the flat edge. That is backspacing. With a tire you will either have to get a flat edge cut or eye ball it. Or you can do it with the front facing you on the truck. Say your rim is 10" wide, total width will be in the 11 range. Take a tape from the the backside where the hub is touching the rim to the front. Say that is 6". 11-6 is 5" backspacing. Offset is distance from center. 10" wide rim with 5.5" backspacing will have a 0 offset. Closer to the back the center of the rim is positive. To the front is negative. Just use backspacing when looking for wheels. Much easier in my eyes. [/QUOTE]
