Default Re: Enlarge wheel pilot hole

I think offset and backspace are measured from the bead surface, not the outer rim. As well as wheel width. You might double check that before you order anything.

Also, if the front suspension is what I think it is, 3 1/2" front backspace is the most you can use and clear the upper ball joint. The picture below is the upper ball joint and a 225/60 15, 3 1/2" backspace. There's a ball joint mod, but it didn't effect this measurement.

Hmmm, won't let me attach the photo.
