Wandell, got another one for ya....sorry.

I would like to know how much past stock this wheel would stick out. It is a 20x8.5 with 4.649" BS. Also, could you explain how it is you figure this out. I thought I had it figured out, but I think I am wrong. Thank you.

They will stick out about 2 inches farther than the OEM 17 and 18 inch wheels. Those oem wheels are 7.5 inches wide with 5.5 inches of backspacing. So, the aftermarket wheels are an inch wider and have about and inch less backspacing. 1+1= 2.

Thanks Wandell, I guess I was making it harder than I needed too. I was dividing the wheel width by 2, then trying to calculate the backspacing, then compensating for offset....and making it too complicated (typical engineer stuff, lol).
