rims for blitz mid travel

[swickwake]

i need rims to fit the blitz mid travel kit. stock rims will not work. i know i need 3.75 back spacing but i do not know the offset.

-6mm or -19mm

backspacing is offset if i remember correctly

Yes, and no.

Backspacing is the measure from the inner bead to the wheel's mounting flange (in this case, we know that 3.75BS is what is needed)
Offset is the measure from the wheel's center-line, to the wheel mounting flange.

To find your Offset, take the wheel width (lets go with 8") divide it in half, and you get 4" (center of the wheel). Now you subtract 3.75" from 4", and you get.25". Lastly you convert that to mm, and you get your offset. I'm not sure about whether it would be positive or negative offset, that would be a good question for google.
I hope that makes sense.

haha this thing is ridding on 30's what doesn't help is the fact the there is ford motor company suspension in the rear. that will change in the next 6 months.

but i am very happy with the dent that this kit has made in my pocket. today with it loaded down close to max i put 300 plus miles on it. it handled like a dream.

will get pics of it up tomorrow.
