I have an '08 XLT Texas Edition with the chrome 10 spoke 18" wheels.
what is my OEM wheel width and backspacing?

thanks

 

Assuming those wheels are the same as the other Ford 18" wheels on the F150, they are 18x7.5 with 5.5" of BS.

 

ok thanks

 

and what,,(if any) is the off-set????

 

Not sure, but the BS is more important as the offset will change depending upon the thickness of the mounting area.

 

You can find the wheel size and offset on the back of your wheels. Its stamped on the wheels as part of the mold. Offset will be shown as (ET#) ET and a number. The number is the offset in Millimeters. Offset and backspace are the same thing, just measured from a different position. This link may help.

Thanks Derrick. based on this info and from other people that i have been asking around, i think i am going to go with an offset of +14mm on a 20x9 rim which comes to a backspacing of about 5.55". so it will stick about an inch further out than normal and thats the look i am going for. thanks!

 

Your welcome
