Any Aftermarket Wheels With Stock Backspacing?

I dug around trying to find some info on this but didn't have much luck. I know from reading tons of posts that the back spacing on the rim really determines how large of a tire a guy can run. You can go a little larger tire with the factory rims but I'd like to know if there are any aftermarket wheels with the same backspacing or at least close in order to have some good looks and the larger tires. I maybe wanting my cake and eat to on this :-)!

I was also wondering the same thing being that I want new rims but the offset 18mm and backspacing is 5.70", Didn't mean to hijack your post. :thumbs:

I have Trailblazer SS replica wheels for the truck lug pattern. They are +22 offset and 5.86 backspacing. The Tahoe/Suburban LTZ wheels are either +30 and 5.68 for the 20" or +31 and 6.72 for the 22". Very close to stock. Don't know if they're you kind of thing though. All you have to do is find a wheel you like and its specs. Compare to stock at +31 offset usually. Wheel width determines the backspacing. To get backspacing from offset, just use these formulas:

 

For positive offset wheels: (Wheel Width +1)/2 + (offset * .03937)

 

For negative offset wheels: (Wheel Width +1)/2 - (offset * .03937)

 

Be careful with negative offset wheels. They will stick out father but that's not always a good thing. It'll push the edge of the tire into the smaller part of the fender when you turn.

Thanks for the info, deciding which wheels and then figuring out backspacing and offset is kind of a pain lol.

The replica trailblazer ss wheels and the silverado ss replica 20's like I have I think are as close as you're going to get. I could be wrong
