KlassicMotion Posted April 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 oldskoolvws, I was referring more to an actual number for the off-set. I need to replace my cracked tires so I'm looking to buy a tire/wheel combo and want to get it right the first time. Your asking him to pull a wheel off and measure for you.... In the mean time, try these and see what your calculations come up with: What I did for my 510 was: On level ground, take a 2 foot or longer level and rest it against the outside of the wheel lip. Get the horizontal bubble level and measure from the level to the face of your hub. For obvious reasons this is not perfect science, so no critics please, but that will get you pretty close to what the maximum distance from the outside of the wheel to the hub face should be. For offset calculations, read these two articles. http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp http://kmhafer.datsun510.com/wheelFAQ.htm Quote Link to comment

Thought my question would be easily answered from memory, I know all the numbers on my crawler's rims. Any ways, thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment
haubstr Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 How about these Chevy Rally's clearing the front and rear disk break setups? I have Beebani brackets, front (Hardbody calipers) and back (Isuzu P/U calipers) I've been considering trying these wheels out but wonder if they clear. I have Z71's on right now and clear no problem. Thanks in advance haubstr Quote Link to comment
