I'm getting 19x8 wheels and they told me the backspacing would be 6 1/4 inch. I asked them what the offset was and said +45. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks

 

The back spacing is the distance from where the hub mounting surface is to the back of the wheel.. (overall rim width)

You backspace would also be dependant upon how wide your outer rim was. Because you have the rim width(the part where the tire mounts) and then you have the over width(rim width + outer rim)

For a 19x8 wheel with +45 offset to have a backspace of 6 1/4, you probably are looking at a wheel that has a outer rim that is 1/2 inches wide.

So the backspace sounds about right..

So which wheel is it?

 

I decided to go with the coddington boyd timeless 2.

Supposedly, you just tell them make and model of car, year, what kind of drop and they will make the wheel w/o rubbing. So I told them 2002 Acura TLS with H&R drop 1.75 in front and 1.5 in the back.

So I dont know if I should stick w/ what they say or tell them to make the offset to atleast +50 like everyone else w/ the same size wheels.

I got to let them know by tomorrow, friday. So any more suggestions. Thanks.

 

+45 is a bit too little IMHO. Also dependent on whether you're running 225 or 235's. To be safe +48 minimum...optimum +51
