View Full Version : What wheel offset?
I just cut the fenders on my 86 Wag, I have only 1.5" AAL's in the rear, front is stock. The fronts are cut up to the wood trim all the way around. The rear is cut to the door, up to the wood trim over and down. The wheel wells are pretty big now but what offset should I get for a 15x8 rim? Thinking of putting 32x9.50 TSL's on.

If you are going to run them that narrow just use the stock back spacing, or close to it. That will probably come in around, what... 4"s?

4" BS with a 15" wheel will not work on the front axle. 3 5/8" max afaik. My Chevy rally wheels have just barely enough clearance for the weights.
I say go with 3.5" BS, and they should stuff fine.

3.5" Back Spacing should work out for you on the wheels.
3.5" is perfect and a very standard rim size, 3.75 would work and be tight, not even sure if that is an option without going custom$$
Ok,3.5" for the 32x10.50's. After looking at the wells now I am thinking of 34x10.50 LTB's, would it still be the same offset? Would I be able to fit them? Right now it is still on stands so I cant get a good measurement, anyone know from experience? I am not looking for a lot of travel. **** I get so undecided with tires! Thanks guys
