what year and vehicle? assuming its a ranger they will be really close to the stock rims, but will stick out a tiny bit farther (i think pretty much all rbv wheels had like a +12 offset).

yeah im wanting to put them on a 2004 ranger. they are sacchi s9's they are 17x8 with 0 offset. I just don't want them to stick out a ridiculous amount and look "special" i have been trying to get the guies at RPS to photo shop some rims but they keep giving me the same old rims everyone else uses for an "off road" rim. If anyone could Photo shop some rims for me ill post up the pictures. I looked at the forum but i didn't see a place directed toward photo shop chops in general.

I was also wondering since the offset is 0 does that mean that since it is a 8" wide rim that the backspacing is 4" if so would that work also? I cant seem to remember what the backspacing on the stocks are for some reason i wanna say like a 3.36" backspacing but i may be getting it confused with some other car Any info is very appreciated!

yes an 8'' wheel with a 0 offset would have a 4'' backspace, they are the same thing. those wheels wouldnt stick out at all they would fit perfect on your ranger. sorry cant help with the photoshop stuff though

An 8" wheel with zero offset will have ~4.5" backspace. That is because width and backspace are measured to two different places on the wheel flange.

A stock 7" width Ranger wheel with +12mm offset also has 4.5" backspace. Changing to an 8" with 4.5" BS will push the tire centerline outward about 1/2" and the outer wheel flange out 1" as compared to the stock 7" wheel.
