IROC RIM SIZES

Hey my iroc rims are 16x8 in the front and 16x8x20 in the rear. I am confused at what the x20 means. can anyone tell me what the difference is? they are the first version of the iroc rims.

Re: IROC RIM SIZES

It has to do with the offset of the rear rims. IROC rims are stamped front and rear and you can run the fronts on the front and rear, but when they are on the rear they will stick out past the rear quarter. If you were to run rear rims on the front they would rub on the inside. That is why you need spacers to run 4th gen wheels on your 3rd gen.

If I am not mistaken the fronts have a 16mm offset and the rear is 20mm, but don't quote me on that.

no idea what the 20 is. the factory wheel have a zero offset in the front and a 16mm in the rear.
