What's my stock rim offset?
I did a search for "stock rim offset" and didn't get an answer. Does anyone know what are the stock front and rear offsets (not backspacing) for '86 IROC 16"X8" rims? I've checked Discount Tire's website and The Tire Rack. I'm trying to buy some aftermarket rims but want to know what the stock specs should be. One of the previous owners put some fugly 15"x7" and 15"x8" AR rims on it with 215/60-15 tires. I'm trying to go aftermarket, but want the stance as close to stock looking as possible. I don't want the rims to "tuck" or stick out.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Stock 16" wheels on 3rd gens used a different offset front and rear. The front wheels "stuck out" a little further than the rears- had to clear the steering knuckle.
If I had to guess I'd say the fronts had about 4" of offset and the rears about 4.5" but please don't order wheels based on my "guesstimate." Find out what they really were before you order.
