H2 wheel backspacing - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

randy92782 · 08-05-2009, 05:13 PM

I've searched and all i gathered was an answer that said they are "5.5" backspacing(i think)"

I'd like to find the actual answer for certain before buying a set

Thanks

Per my wheel vendors website; Factory rims are 8.5" wide, and have a
+22 mm offset. this indicates the the mounting face is 22 mm closer to
the face of the rim from center. 8.5" % 2 = 4.25" + .866" =5.116" backspace.
22 mm % 25.4 ( conversion to inch ) = .866"

That is good math, but the measured backspacing is 5 5/8" since it is measured from the inside edge of the wheel, and offset is measured from where the bead seats. I have personally measured this with a tape measure.

It's more than 4.25". I have a set of H2s on my truck and the rears are almost inside the fender. Stock 15x8 ralley's stick out more than these do.

Either way they'll work. Was just curious as to the correct measurement. Thanks guys

does a 40 x 12.5 or 13.5 tire provide enough clearance for hub protection?

b454rat · 08-08-2009, 05:56 AM

I have 37x13s on mine, doesn't give alot of protection. Only real way to do that is more offset.
