Wheel Question

What would -25 offset be in reference to backspacing. I am looking for a 18x10 wheel with the same or close to -25 offset. I want the Mickey Thompson Classic II but there 18x10 has a 4.5" BS. It's going on a 06 f150 fx4 and I want it to stick out like the Motoring MB "Blitz" wheel with a -25 offset on 325/60X18 Nitto TG

I may be wrong but I could swear the 18x10 MT wheel in the 6x135mm bolt pattern has 6 inches of backspacing.

An 18 x 10 with -25mm offset is 4.5" backspacing and it will stick WAY out - 3.5" more than stock. Looks ridiculous IMO, unless you have tons of lift.

Actually, cgirtman's truck doesn't look bad at all. I just wanted to make sure you knew what you were getting.

What you want is all that really matters.

yep -25 is 4.5 backspacing and as long as it is 10 inches wide as well,it will look like that.I like the look too ,I'm just worried about the stone chips on mine.

Fender flares are a slick fix for the stone-chucking, and they look great with low-offset wheels. When I was thinking about black DC-1 (4.5" bs) I looked into it, but a local shop wanted $100 to paint each flare, so I didn't do it. Xenon flares looked to be the most "OEM-looking".

M/T Classic IIs in 18x10 6-135 have 6" of bs** http://www.mickeythompsontires.com/s...op_wheels.php#

and if you want'em you better order because according to the guy at sportztrailers M/T is no longer making them for our trucks. Says on the link there are 12 left.

That's strange according to this website there 4.5". I would believe the MT website though before the one below. Thanks

I'd believe MT over one of their distributers.
