Wheels/Rims Offset

[ronhallam]

Hi, I know there could be many different senarios but what is the normal/average offset on rims for a T-Bucket with wide tires on the rear? Ball park figure? I'm using a S-10 rear end.

Not really ready to buy but never know when a guy might run across a good cheap priced set. Thanks!

First is your rear end mounted? If it is take a yard stick and put it on the face of the brake drum measure to where you want the tire to be. Close to the body or far from it.That is your off set.tire width minus the rim size will tell you what off set rim to get.this is just the way i do it there will be others with there way.

Someone will probably post the diagram that shows all measurements and calculation. Do a search here and you will find it.

I don't believe a search would find that. I am pretty sure that sketch is not on the other site Tech Pages anymore. I have looked for it before and do not see it listed. Oh well. At least I still have it.

I have a copy in my Photobucket album. I've posted it here several times, but you're probably right that a search wouldn't necessarily find it.

I posted that in the tech forum before site update but it got lost in transfer.
