I was wondering what offset/backspacing do I need for the 16x7 and 16x8 wheels?

The standard wheels are as follows:

1) 16x7 +18 offset
2) 16x8 -10 offset


Then there are the rare, expensive Special Handling Package wheels (SHP).

1) 16x8 +18 offset
2) 16x9 0 offset

 

Will these wheels fit without any issues?

 

all depends on how much of a drop you have....... you go anywhere past the 4/4 area its questionable depending on the width of the wheels you get.

 

The wheels would be 16x7 +18 offset and 16x8 -10 offset. I only have a spindle drop in the front which I think is 2" and the back is stock. Will these fit?

 

they fit perfect for me im lowered about 5 in front and 4 inthe rear. I just rolled the rear with a wood bat just in case

 

We have the some color and year so that is perfect! Thanks!

technically you can pull the bedside instead of rolling the fender (possibly chipping the paint)

there are 2 bolts that hold a bracket in line with the wheel and are under the well cover. undo the 2 bolts, move them over to the holes further out and it will give you another 1-1.5 inches of width.......... this will get you the width they set them at for the 4x4 trucks

wish i had a welder.....

 

I had to removed that small bracket inside of wheel well I get in the way when rolling. If you worry about chipping the paint heat it up a little with a torch or heat gun

 

Can anyone provide a guide on how to move the bed instead of rolling the fenders?
