Well I did some searching around but couldn't nail this question down, Im gonna be ordering some TORQUE THRUST II rims soon, and Im needing to know the correct offset. I know for sure I do not want the rims/tires to stick out at all, I want them nice and neat under the fenders front and back. The fronts will be 16x7. the rears will be 16x9.5 thanks in advance, this is my first time doing this and I want to get it right.

If you don't use really enormous tires I use the rule of thumb of one half the rim width for a backset. Of course this is not exact, so If I was you I would go with a 4.5 inch backset on the backs and 4 inch on the front. JB

thanks, I am wanting to run tires to where I have good meat on the back. I really dont like the look of a small profile tire.

well seems like the market for the 9.5 wide rims isnt that good so i may just stick with 16x8, if im doing this correct that means im still gonna need the rims to be 4.5 back set for the rears also even when i move it down to 16x8.

There is a place called Stockton wheels who will custom widen rallys or other wheels to your spec. They are probably not the only ones to do that .

The Hurst Dazzler in a 15x8 gives lots of room for a wide tire with some good sidewall to it. They come in Black or Gold with machined lip.http://www.tirerack.com/images/wheels/hurst/swap/hrst_dazzler15x8_mba_ci3_l.jpg

Here are pics of mine with the new tires and Boss 338 18x9.5 with 4 3/4 offset. New tire size is 295-45-18 old ones were 275-40-18. New ones fill it up way better I think.Offset help Hpim7610Offset help Hpim7611Offset help Hpim7613Offset help Hpim7614Offset help Hpim7615Offset help Hpim7616 And the old wayOffset help Hpim7510

Those rims look sweet on there. Love the lip on them. I'd love to grab a pair of them for my boat trailer.

Those look great with the gold paint! Old style TQ's are cool but they are so common at the same time. I checked on the Hurst Dazzler in a 15x8, starts at 169.00 each. That's less than the new TQ's at the parts store. The Boss #338's in a staggered 18x8 and 18x9.5 were 659.00 set of 4. Wheel and tire combos for the Boss#338's on Phoenix CL is 1100.00. So.. not super cheap, but definately on the low side when looking at aftermarket wheels NEW.

I like my Boss wheels but I wish they came in a 15 or 16 inch for more tire selections. Hard to fill the wheel wells with low pro tires in my opinion.

Offset on our cars should always be 0 and backset should be 4 inches for a 8 inch wide rim. A little leeway is allowed for most backset applications for anything except huge wide tires JB

Okay mine are 4 3/4 backset for a 9.5 rim. This is measurement from back center to back of rim. Didn't know there was a difference. Good to know.

Just FYI.  I'm running a 15x10 rim with 50 series rubber.  They have a 4 1/2" backspace.  Pics show how she looks.  But my current rear (monte rear) is 1" wider than my stock chevelle rear.  So figure they can tuck another 1/2" on each side if you have a chevelle rear.  Just FYI.
