I understand now. I guess what I'm trying to figure is how that wheel has so much backspace if my wheels which are 22x11 with a -25 has around 5" of backspace. Wouldn't that -44 push the face of the center of the wheel further in than mine or is it b/c of it being a 12" wide wheel?

i will never understand why manufacturers are skipping over the 6x135 bolt pattern in 6x135. ford f150's are the #1 selling trucks for how long and they only make rims up to 20". i understand that 20's are the norm and some make 22's and 24's, but then make all the models. you can get chrome monsters in 24's, but not the rockstars, how retarded IMO

Could always run it with a spacer. If they made a 24x10 to fit I would do it and just add a spacer. Would give that RC Truck look.
I tryed a set of 22x9.5 with 38mm offset ( alba wheels not rockstars ). Fit fine and no rub.

Blackout- i wish we could do that, but the 24's have 8 inches of backspacing, which is way to much

i just wish kmc would pull their head outta their *** and get the picture, big rims, big tires, big lift are the norm these days. it's funny to me that they will sell the 20x10 in dual lug pattern, but they don't in 22's or 24's, i don't understand....it's just silly, maybe they wouldn't be the biggest seller, but if they made them in dual lug pattern they could sell the same rim to 2 guys who had different trucks, maybe i'm just extra clever, but that's just good business IMO

i just heard kelso use the term "extra clever" and i had to throw it in there

Check out RawAsEver 's Truck! (That isnt his full name)
He has 22'' Rockstars that used to be black but are now paint matched to his KR.
They look GREAT!
I cant even imagine 24's... with a Rize ... And Some Beefy Tires ...

Enough with the day dream, Sorry!

i just checked a few websites and the 24" blanks come in a -44 offset which is like 4.77" backspace. that would work, right?

KMC deffinatly needs to make improvements. I like the - offsets with some of the tire sticking out. I actually was at the rim shop one day and they had a set of 24" chrome rockstars with 38" Kumho's. I don't think the black would go with my truck. I put them on the side of my truck and they looked sweet. The Hoss would be so much of a better looking wheel if it had the offset and lip of the Diesel. Also Ultra makes a few nice wheels, but they're all + offsets. These companies could sell alot more wheels if they made 22' and 24's with the right offset. And you're correct Adam, why not make the wheels that have center caps universal for the 6x135 AND 6X139. It took me almost 3 months to find a wheel that I likes in a 22. I seen RawAsEver 's truck, but his wheels stick in to much for me. With a spacer added they'd be sweet. I like a wide stance on a high truck.

According to this they're 8.23. I'm trying to figure out why would they make them to fit a chevy (6x139.7), but not our trucks?

XD77524261244 24" x 12" -44 8.23 6x139.7
XD77524280244 24" x 12" -44 8.23 8x165.1
XD77524287244 24" x 12" -44 8.23 8x170
XD77524260244 24" x 12" -44 8.23 6x139.7

offset and backspace is 2 different things if you want 24 rockstars, i think the only way is have a custom set made or adapters

I love that wheel, but not so much the price. Somewhere around $750 a rim. They're available in 22x9.5 which will probably be a + offset. They're just like 90% of all other wheel companies. They make whatever you want in a 20" wheel, but in a 22 and 24 they make a 9.5. I can fit a 24x9.5 on a fwd car so why make something so small for a truck?

24x12's and 38's are around 4000-4500 for 8 lug so getting some custom made wouldn't be worth it for me. 24x10 with adapters would be much easier. I'm still wondering how they're making them to fit 6x139.7????
