Subject: RT Wheel offset?
IP: Logged

Message:
Does anyone know what the back spacing and offset is on the stock 6 lug RT 17 inch wheels. I currently have 16s but am planning to buy aftermarket 17s or 18s and want to assure I get wheels that fit right with the Hotchkis suspension.

Stock R/T wheels have 6" backspacing. Some others have used 6.75 backspacing to get the wheels to sit flush with the fender flares (if you have them).

From what I understand the more backspacing you have the further inboard the wheels will be. For example, if you want the wheels to stick out beyond the flares then get less backspacing.

If you want your back spacing to match a 17" R/T wheel, get it 6.25" I had a set done by Billet Specialties and they turned out perfect.
