Just came across with good looking Pro-Comp wheels and I'm wondering how they will compare to the stock wheels? I just got new 285/75/16's so will be sticking with the 16" version....

Pro Comp Series 7028 Cast-Blast Wheels - Xtreme Alloy Cast Wheels, Pro Comp Cast Wheels

But according to my fuzzy math, I'm thinking since these have the 4.5BS, but will be 8" wide rather than 7" wide of the stockers...they will stick out 1" further, but not in any further? Any input will help!

 

16x8, 5 on 4.5 Bolt Pattern

* Backspace = 4.5 in.
* Max Load = 2200lbs
* Finish = Flat Black
* Hub Centric = No
* Offset = 0mm









will stick out .5" being its 1" wider then stock but same backspacing as stock

 

some nice looking rims, how much they gonna run

 

Looks like $200/wheel give or take..

 

Ok, (still) confused now...if the backspacing is the same..wouldn't that mean all the extra width is on the "street side"?

 

It will stick out 1" more than stock. Having the same backspacing means the inside edge of the wheel will be in the same location as stock, pushing it out 1".

If the wheel had the same offset as stock, 12 mm, then the center of the wheel would be in the same location as stock, and would be .5" closer inside, and stick out .5" more.

Yes.

 

no its .5" extra on each side... same backspacing...

 

I vote 1" sticking out. BS is the same, so its gonna be 4.5" to the inboard side of the rim. Be it a 7" rim or a 13" rim its still only 4.5" to the inside.

Now, if you are referring to the 0 offset, thats different. Then if the stockers are 0 offset it would be .5" on each side.

 

does it really matter its hardly any difference lol... its not like its 3.25 reason i never liked 16's never good bs...

 

Backspacing is measured from the mounting surface to the inside of the wheel in inches. 4.5" of backspacing will be 4.5" on any width wheel. So the entire inch gained will be gained on the outside of the rim since the backspacing is the same.

 

Main thing for me is to confirm that it wont be "IN" any further....already rub at full lock, and dont want to be in even .0002" further!! lol

 

Logan lets meet up and run a trail in the next few weeks.

 

$200 a wheel? I got my 17x8 procomps for like $140 a wheel

 

Cool..but not these wheels (??).....and the $200 is just a round #...ranges from like 170ish..but not rocket science.

 

You are confusing offset and backspacing.

Backspacing is the distance from the mounting surface to the inside edge of the wheel. Same inner clearance.

 

throwing it out there was all

 

Thanks Riceman...confirmed what I was thinking!

Well called to get them this morning, and found out that they are on some sort of National backorder....said January would be a safe bet!!!! So, the search continues!

 

lovely
