Guys, sorry I'm in a hurry. Found a smoking deal on 18x9 Torq Thrusts but they have a +34 offset which should be 6.3 backspacing? Can I make these fit with spacers? Guy is gonna drive an hour to bring them to me tomorrow only so I gotta answer quick. Thanks in advance.

 

Ask Scott Moyer he knows everything

 

Yes, you can mathematically make them fit with spacers. Stock Irocs for example are 0mm in front and 16mm rear. The extra offset your wheels have means the mounting surface of the wheel is pushed OUT from the center line, meaning you'd need spacers.

Here's why i say mathematically, and here's what you wanna look into. In theory, you just add spacers to take up the offset space. that being said, you'd be looking at roughly 1.3" up front and .75" in back. I've never used spacers that thin. I'm running 1.5" spacers up front (on my truck), with the actual studs pressed into them. No issues. ...and I've seen very thin spacers that just sandwich in between the hub and wheel with no extra studs. The sizes you're looking at though may be too thin for spacers/adapters with studs, and too thick for just running a plain spacer. I DO NOT KNOW. That's just my amateur thinking out loud. You can google "are wheel spacers safe" and read for weeks on end. That's your call, and your research to do. I'm not comfortable suggesting one way or another.

But per your question, yes, they will fit with spacers.

 

That's what I needed to know. Thanks for bringing your thoughts on the situation to my attention. I need to look into the spacers a little more, but I'm gonna go ahead and pull the trigger on these since they will "fit". The price is right, and if they won't work for me I guess I can just sell them. I appreciate your help and your willingness to offer up your knowledge.

 

Good Luck
