Ok so i have 16x8 wheels with a 10 mm offset they fit fine no rubbing(i am lifted)but i hate them,i settled for them because the one i REALLY wanted were not available in the 5x4.5 bolt pattern so i want to try to figure out if i can get wheel adapters to change the bolt pattern to the wheels i want
my question is (and my head is hurting tryin to figure this out)
the wheel comes in +10 mm or -6mm offset,so which ones should i go with and what thickness wheel adapter???
thanx for any help

8" wide wheels:
+10mm offset gives you 4.89" backspace
-6mm offset = 4.26" b.s.

7" wide wheels:
+10mm = 4.39" b.s.
-6mm = 3.76" b.s.

1.25" is a common thickness for adapters, which is going to be popping those wheels out quite a bit.
