backspacing?

hey, i plan on getting some 17x7s and need to know how much backspacing i need to tuck. btw its a 87 with 2wd front fenders and jap bed

Lemme figure out what I got on mine man I got the same setup and the same size rims.....Lemme see if I can find the invoice and Ill give ya a shout on the back spacing I used.

cool.......

Hey man I cant find that invoice for what back spacing I ordered the best I can do is take some pics of the rims with a tape measure to them would that somewhat help?
Hmmmmm in my stupidty of thought how else would I get the back spacing.....measure....

quick question will a 18 X 7.5 with a +42mm backspacing fit on a 2003 taco that will be bagged and BD. I need to know if they'll tuck in the back with out modification to the axle.

That measurement sounds like offset dude, +42mm would be from the point of center of rim, which means the back space is 107.5mm on a 7.5" rim, which will tuck under any toyota. So Dragnbdy, you wont need to touch your axle dude!

yotadrgnbdy, you'll need about the same back space dude for 7" rims, this will keep them in a bit from the front guards as not to rub on low driveing.

I have measured up for my billets, and have done a few of my mates rides and all turned out well.

Hope I helped.....

cool..... thanks dude

how about 20x7.5

If there off the shelf, they can be anywere between 145mm back space to 165mm. All depends on make. One thing you will have to check is if you will be able to tuck them to the top of your front guards, thats were problems start for toys, as the taper in sharp.

If your not sure what will fit, there was a tech in MT on how to measure rims a few years back, you can either check yourself, or go to your local wheel shop and ask.
