Here is the calculation for tire height in inches: Example (195/65/15) A/B/C A divided by 25.4 = 7.67 (width of tire in inches) 7.67 x .65 (B) = 4.99 (shoulder height of tire) 4.99 + 4.99 (top and bottom shoulder heights) 9.98 + 15 (C rim height) = 24.98” (top + bottom shoulder height + rim = total height of tire) 195/65/15 (Total Height of 24.98” Width of 7.67”)
@@ThePitStopTirePros ah ok. new to this and learning. so how do we know what size rim to get or what width to get. I currently have 225/70/16 on my crossover vehicle. it's called a Honda Crossroad out of japan not sold in the U.S. I want to put wider tires. based on the formula my mounted diameter is around 28" or so which is correct bcuz i measured by tape the other day lol. my wheel well width is just under 31" from the widest section. I"m also lifting my car by 2" inches. I just don't want to screw ordering the wrong size tire and rim. not sure if I need to drop down to 15" for an offroad or aggressive tire. would be great if u could help. I don't know how much negative offset I need. I'm looking at a 15/16" rims on ebay with a -19 offset. have no clue if it's enough or too much lol all I know is that everything needs to be maybe a tad bit under 30" to be safe. 29.5-.75 but can't find anything in that range. I was thinking maybe 255/65/16? so would I need a rim at least 10" in depth? but it also seems that off road/MT with the same specs are a little bigger bcuz of the thicker exterior or the design
These 'lift kits' should come with their own vehicle specific tire/wheel size recommendations to support their product. This would leave the guess work out for the vehicle owner. Great video!
Most of the manufacturers we’ve worked with do come with a recommendation either stated in their tech specs or front or back of any install guides. If not we contact the manufacturer directly to talk to their tech department for a recommendation. Having a plan for all aspects of the build allow for minor adaptations but with the highest probability of successful aesthetics and performance.
But you people never tell everyone else that if you put on a wheel with negative offset that pushes the tire out, that the tire now swings out further front and back/bigger radius.
should also add the further offset you run away from factory the more scrub radius you add and the more impact force you add to your suspension components as they all designed around factory tolerances, I can explain but watch a video about scrub radius and you'll understand
Might be worth mentioning the effects of over-doing it with a negative offset. Under-doing it causing rubbing on suspension components and overdoing it causing excess stress on the connection points and also chucking rocks constantly at everyone behind you, at the very least causing potential insurance claims if you don't care about other people's property and the golden rule.

@@thetomasloretta anything greater than +33 will decrease the stance. For example a +45 or a +39 (both greater than +33) would decrease the stance.. So +10 is less than +33 so therefore a +10 will widen the stance.
Sorry to dig it again: whatever the offset is, when upgrading the tire, dosn't matter what size : how would you know what offset to get to accommodate the bigger tire?

Egz.: upper arm / coil?
It will all the depend on the current spacing between the tire and suspension arms in the wheel well. Remember that when tires are upgraded the width of the tire almost always widens with an upgrade in height because of aspect ratios. For example if you have a 1/2” gap between the upper control arm and tire currently but are upgrading to a taller tire that is also 1/2” wider then you’ll have 1/4” less room to the UCA with the same offset. But if your gaining 1/2” width, and negatively offsetting 1/2” away from the hub then your gapping will stay the same at 1/2”. Most factory offsets are a positive number typically between 20-50 and are in mm. (MM ➗25.4 = inches)
Spacers or a new rim with additional negative offset, in combination with more lift to accommodate better clearance of the turning radius based on the tire size that is installed.

Offset is in millimeters, easy calculation is to find out the factory offset, positive number and add the additional negative number to it, divided by 25.4 and that would equal the inches you would use to determine the amount that the rim is going to pull out from the wheel well. (for example 44 + (-12 offset) = 56 total millimeters or 2.2 inches
My oem wheels Toyota Camry 2020 offset is 50 mm,I want change my rims for lexus rx450 h with 30 mm offset ,Will my wheels go beyond the car's fender or will it be too far inside? Or won't it change anything?
Would be impossible to say anything for certain without a test fit, but your difference is 20mm. One inch is 25.4mm so 1/5 less than one whole inch of rim outward past the current rims position.
So I have a 2001 Tahoe with +33 offset and I’m looking at rims with -44 offset is that to much or what should I be looking for I want it to be wider for bigger tires it only has 245/75/r16 and if I put 265/70/16 on they rub on the control arms or tie rods
Offset is really only meant to give you enough space to clear your suspension arms any more can actually start to obstruct the tread in the fender wells. Your offset difference is slightly over 3”. Typically negative offset is a compensation for a wider tire. Lift or leveling is for a taller tire. Ergo when upsizing a significantly wider and taller tire both adjustments are combined (lift & offset). Not just one. Rough country has a really good tire guide below each of their lift components to understand what wheel and tire combo will fit with each lift including tire size and wheel offset.
@@ThePitStopTirePros I found one that is 16x9 -12 offset would that be to much i already can fit these tires height wise a little to well the bigger 265s but yes I need to clear maybe an inch or so on the inside I think I just took 2 inch wheel spacers off because they had torn up my wheel bearing
That would take your rim from its factory stance @+44 and push the rim out of the fender 2.44”. Would NOT recommend it. Plus the width is also over excessive
Thanks for the vid, is there a way to get the -10 offset without new rims? Have a 2022 trail tacoma with 16” wheels and would like to get that wider look without breaking the bank. Appreciate it!
Offset, backspace, bolt pattern all are fixed specifications on rims. Bolt on spacers are commonly used but we do not recommend them. Additional cantilever torque on hubs can cause premature wear to bearings.
No those angle typically aren’t affected by negative offset, but a bolted on spacer could do more wear and tear on the hub/bearing overtime because of the increase of fulcrum distance from the bearing center.
That is only a 31.64” tall tire so probably fine for second and third generation Tacos but maybe too tall for a first gen. But test fitting would be what we would do with full turn checking before releasing.
@@ThePitStopTirePros awesome thank you! thanks for answering about all gens lol i forgot to mention that. Im going back and forth between a used 1st gen or just get a 2022. Either way once i get it ill be headed out to you guys.
So I just bought new set of tires (275/70/17). I still have my stock wheels though. When I make a really sharp turns the tire is kinda rubbing against the control arms. Does changing a negative off set wheels could fix this issue? I really don't want to use spacers.
It would depend on at what point in the turning radius that the rubbing occurs. Typically more negative offset from an aftermarket rim would create more clearance. It’s also a possibility that the larger tires maybe the issue, one that negative offset may or may not fix. Lifting a vehicle, plus sizing tires, with factory or aftermarket rims is usually done with manufacturer or tire guideline for fitments.
I have a +20 factory offset..what is the most that should be considered on a 20 inch aftermarket wheel on a 2014 camaro..the wheel is 20x8.5 with a +35 off..so would the .6 inch be too much of a change? I heard + or - 5 was ideal
Not sure your vehicle trim as most of the Camero’s have either a base model with same tires and wheels front to rear in that case the offset is + 38 for matching front and rear setups (LT option). But a ZL1 option has + 23 in front and + 43 in the rear. So according to fitment it sounds like you have some missing information to give you a proper recommendation. Based on your question I would go with a reputable seller that uses a fitment guide to properly advise you of your options for the vehicle. Offset is in mm so a few mm in either direction is typically not a big issue, but you want a company that will stand by their recommendation so any returns or exchanges are on their dime and not yours.
Hey there. I want to ask you. My factory wheels have the following size. 7,5x17 et 25 6x139,7 bore center 106,1. I want to buy new wheels.The size that is close to my factory size is 8x17 et 20 6x139,7 bore center 106.1. My question is will it fits or will I have an issue. Thank you in advance for your help.
It looks like your values are all very close, you still have to factor your tire size and the applicability to the rims in question. What I would advise as just another opinion on the internet, is ask the manufacturer if they have a fitment guide to the rims your looking at installing or if not what we typically do is if there is some gray area, we always test fit with the option to return to our distributors prior to installing tires so we can verify fitment to the hubs, around the brakes and with enough backspace and clearance to safely install. With lifts companies like BDS for example they have recommended numbers that give you the rim and tires that you should fall within to match their installed product. So bottom line, get as much verified information specific to your vehicle model and aftermarket products that will get you to as much information as possible to make the best decision.
A heavy deviation from factory offset could potentially cause premature wear and tear but have experienced customers going as far as possible with negative offset on vehicles. And the two most noticeable cause and effect issues would be an increase in road tracking (wandering in the steering wheel) and increased paint chipping on the sides of the vehicle from tires throwing rocks.
It would totally depend on the vehicle your adding those specifications to. Every vehicle has specific sizes (tires and rims) that will fit from factory and those that won’t. Using a fitment guide is the safest bet, not randomly choosing options. If a vehicle is modified from factory then a manufacturer recommendation is usually the specs you should use.
Any greater distance will eventually change the wear and tear of any vehicle but with proper maintenance many installed items can last just as long or longer depending on the build quality. Rims typically don’t change much unless it’s a drastic change in size and settings from factory.
Can you please tell me if this would work for my 2022 4Runner ORP? I have watched several videos but I feel so stupid because I’m just not getting it!!! Looking at wheels that are 17x8.5 (stock are 17x7.5) and either 0 offset or +25offset. My Stock wheels are +15 offset. I want to run stock size tires 265/70/17 because I don’t plan on lifting the vehicle and don’t want to do any mods. Will this rub or be an issue? Which offset would be best? Thanks for any help…
how does the wheel width affect the offset? for example: jumping from a stock wheel on a 3rd gen taco 17x7 to a 17x8.5/9 with a +14mm offset. Having a wheel/tire that sticks out is illegal where i’m from. will having a wider wheel affect the offset? or how far the wheel sticks out even if it is a positive offset?
Wheel offset and width are two separate measurements. If you have two rims with the same offset but one is wider there will be a slight difference in more rim sticking out as well as more rim in the well. 1.5” split to .75” out of the well and .75” inside the well in your example. If you are going taller in tire size the aspect ratio will almost always dictate wider width as well, in some cases requiring a wider rim too. If your worried about too much out of well distance that has to be covered consider a well flare like some bushwhackers.
Good video. I currently have a 2/1 leveling kit running with 265/70R17s on my 2022 Tacoma. I am looking to get a more aggressive wheel. What offset should I consider to go with? Thanks
Is is not the same as wheel offset but can accomplish the same purpose if larger tires are mounted on stock wheels for example after lifting. The debated detriment is how much additional fulcrum torque is applied to the outer hub bearing causing premature wear and tear to wheel bearings and lug studs if a non bolted spacer is used. For example a 1/8 disc spacer reduces the total amount of threads grabbed by the lug nut ergo reducing applicable torque and load to the stud. Bolted spacers have more structural integrity but increase the fulcrum volume to the outer bearing because of the distance increased between the wheel and hub.
I have a 2022 4runner and wanted to put 20x9 wheels and planning to lift 3 inches. What offset do I need to get? Negative or positive? And what size of tires do i need to get. Thanks
That will all depend on recommendations made by the lift manufacturer and their specifications, the wider the rim the more negative offset will be needed.
I have a stock 2019 Tundra Trd Pro with 18 inch rims. I’d like to give it a more aggressive look. Thinking about keeping the 18’s and upgrading to 37 inch tires and a 6 inch lift. What the best offset for this setup to avoid control arm and rubbing? (I’m prepared to modify plastic bumper trim.)
Test fitment is always recommended when going to aftermarket wheels but the rule to keep in mind is your stock offset +55 / +60 = 2-17” / 2.36” (mm to inches). 6 inch lift (going up) what is the ideal stance for offset to match (height vs width)? It is a preference, but a vehicle on stilts is much more prone to rollover than a vehicle with a wide base especially with the overall large footprint of a 37”. Deal with a professional when lifting to get the best information recommended by manufacturers, but your vehicle shape should look more like a triangle and less like a field goal H.
I have a 2016 Tacoma with 4 inch BDS lift with 32.5 inch tires currently I have 18 inch Fuel wheels with -19 off set. I'm thinking of getting 18 inch TRD Po wheels with a +20 off set will these fit
You will lose 39mm or 1.54” of your offset. Meaning the rim will cause the wheel and tire to go in (the wheel well) that much distance. Hard to say if it will fit but with a 4” lift, your stance vs center of gravity will take a hit making the cornering seem much less stable and more top heavy since your are in essence narrowing your tire footprint.
@@PHILLIPS8822 you can, but there’s an additional torque applied to the hub bearing as a cause. But if your not off-road consistently shouldn’t be an issue.
Most are offsets are a high positive #. So it should bring the tire out about 1/2” or so, and the tire should be fine for a third gen & second gen tacos, might have some issues with first gen. Just have to test fit and verify.
I drive a 2019 Chevy Silverado rst. I upgraded the suspension to Bilstein and icon ucas and now I’m sitting completely leveled. My stock rims are +24mm. I plan on install 18” rims with -12 offset wrapped in 33”x11.5. Do you think this set up will rub? Thanks for your expertise
Whenever we do any install we always take into account the recommended tire size the lift manufacturer states as the maximum tire size that will fit the vehicle after installation. Your offset difference is 1.417”. So take into account where the tire sits now and figure that distance it’s going to move outward. Whether or not it will rub depends again on the recommendation from the lift manufacturer, sometimes you have to call them, as well as the intended jump in width which your average rim is going to be 7.5-9” which 11.5” is between 22-45% wider. Even at 9” the 11.5” gives you 2.5” total increase giving you 1.25” in both directions. The offset gave you 1.417” outward and the width took away 1.25” so your left with .16” of additional clearance. Although this is all speculation as typically having our customers in shop and measuring all of this is our usual protocol. Bottom line recommendation would be to get all of your existing measurements and compare them to your desired component measurements and as long as they fall within the limits of what the wheel well will fit, plus a test fit will give you your answer.
Yeah yeah you could have simply said... the higher the offset the closer the wheel is to your chassis and the lower the offset the further the wheel is from your chassis & everything else would have been self-explanatory but all that jargon just complicates things more than necessary 🤦🏻
You guys never measured king line and scrub radius. That’s not safe at all. You need a new knuckle that is very low from the center of the wheel. Those shocks are now greatly reduced in effectiveness as well as controlling the car is fooked
Here is the calculation for tire height in inches:
Example (195/65/15)
A/B/C
A divided by 25.4 = 7.67 (width of tire in inches)
7.67 x .65 (B) = 4.99 (shoulder height of tire)
4.99 + 4.99 (top and bottom shoulder heights)
9.98 + 15 (C rim height) = 24.98” (top + bottom shoulder height + rim = total height of tire)
195/65/15 (Total Height of 24.98” Width of 7.67”)

That is only a 31.64” tall tire so probably fine for second and third generation Tacos but maybe too tall for a first gen. But test fitting would be what we would do with full turn checking before releasing.
@@ThePitStopTirePros awesome thank you! thanks for answering about all gens lol i forgot to mention that. Im going back and forth between a used 1st gen or just get a 2022. Either way once i get it ill be headed out to you guys.
So I just bought new set of tires (275/70/17). I still have my stock wheels though. When I make a really sharp turns the tire is kinda rubbing against the control arms. Does changing a negative off set wheels could fix this issue? I really don't want to use spacers.
It would depend on at what point in the turning radius that the rubbing occurs. Typically more negative offset from an aftermarket rim would create more clearance. It’s also a possibility that the larger tires maybe the issue, one that negative offset may or may not fix. Lifting a vehicle, plus sizing tires, with factory or aftermarket rims is usually done with manufacturer or tire guideline for fitments.
@@ThePitStopTirePros i have a 3" lift. it's just rubbing against the control arm really.. there's still a lot of clearance elsewhere.
I have a +20 factory offset..what is the most that should be considered on a 20 inch aftermarket wheel on a 2014 camaro..the wheel is 20x8.5 with a +35 off..so would the .6 inch be too much of a change? I heard + or - 5 was ideal
Not sure your vehicle trim as most of the Camero’s have either a base model with same tires and wheels front to rear in that case the offset is + 38 for matching front and rear setups (LT option). But a ZL1 option has + 23 in front and + 43 in the rear. So according to fitment it sounds like you have some missing information to give you a proper recommendation. Based on your question I would go with a reputable seller that uses a fitment guide to properly advise you of your options for the vehicle. Offset is in mm so a few mm in either direction is typically not a big issue, but you want a company that will stand by their recommendation so any returns or exchanges are on their dime and not yours.
I have an LS..thank you for your time a recommendation.
Offset is good for curve road. ❤
Hey there. I want to ask you. My factory wheels have the following size. 7,5x17 et 25 6x139,7 bore center 106,1. I want to buy new wheels.The size that is close to my factory size is 8x17 et 20 6x139,7 bore center 106.1.
My question is will it fits or will I have an issue.
Thank you in advance for your help.
It looks like your values are all very close, you still have to factor your tire size and the applicability to the rims in question. What I would advise as just another opinion on the internet, is ask the manufacturer if they have a fitment guide to the rims your looking at installing or if not what we typically do is if there is some gray area, we always test fit with the option to return to our distributors prior to installing tires so we can verify fitment to the hubs, around the brakes and with enough backspace and clearance to safely install. With lifts companies like BDS for example they have recommended numbers that give you the rim and tires that you should fall within to match their installed product. So bottom line, get as much verified information specific to your vehicle model and aftermarket products that will get you to as much information as possible to make the best decision.
Will offset affect alignment? Or cause issues in the future?
A heavy deviation from factory offset could potentially cause premature wear and tear but have experienced customers going as far as possible with negative offset on vehicles. And the two most noticeable cause and effect issues would be an increase in road tracking (wandering in the steering wheel) and increased paint chipping on the sides of the vehicle from tires throwing rocks.
@The Pit Stop Tire Pros is -25 offset ok? 265/75/16 tyres
It would totally depend on the vehicle your adding those specifications to. Every vehicle has specific sizes (tires and rims) that will fit from factory and those that won’t. Using a fitment guide is the safest bet, not randomly choosing options. If a vehicle is modified from factory then a manufacturer recommendation is usually the specs you should use.
I just got a 17 inch wheels -12 offset, should i be worried about messing up the wheel bearings/joints? .
Any greater distance will eventually change the wear and tear of any vehicle but with proper maintenance many installed items can last just as long or longer depending on the build quality. Rims typically don’t change much unless it’s a drastic change in size and settings from factory.
Can you please tell me if this would work for my 2022 4Runner ORP? I have watched several videos but I feel so stupid because I’m just not getting it!!!
Looking at wheels that are 17x8.5 (stock are 17x7.5) and either 0 offset or +25offset. My Stock wheels are +15 offset. I want to run stock size tires 265/70/17 because I don’t plan on lifting the vehicle and don’t want to do any mods. Will this rub or be an issue? Which offset would be best? Thanks for any help…
how does the wheel width affect the offset? for example: jumping from a stock wheel on a 3rd gen taco 17x7 to a 17x8.5/9 with a +14mm offset. Having a wheel/tire that sticks out is illegal where i’m from. will having a wider wheel affect the offset? or how far the wheel sticks out even if it is a positive offset?
Wheel offset and width are two separate measurements. If you have two rims with the same offset but one is wider there will be a slight difference in more rim sticking out as well as more rim in the well. 1.5” split to .75” out of the well and .75” inside the well in your example. If you are going taller in tire size the aspect ratio will almost always dictate wider width as well, in some cases requiring a wider rim too. If your worried about too much out of well distance that has to be covered consider a well flare like some bushwhackers.
Good video. I currently have a 2/1 leveling kit running with 265/70R17s on my 2022 Tacoma. I am looking to get a more aggressive wheel. What offset should I consider to go with? Thanks
Perfect explanation
Is it possible to offset stock wheels? Is installing wheel spacers the same thing as an offset?
Is is not the same as wheel offset but can accomplish the same purpose if larger tires are mounted on stock wheels for example after lifting. The debated detriment is how much additional fulcrum torque is applied to the outer hub bearing causing premature wear and tear to wheel bearings and lug studs if a non bolted spacer is used. For example a 1/8 disc spacer reduces the total amount of threads grabbed by the lug nut ergo reducing applicable torque and load to the stud. Bolted spacers have more structural integrity but increase the fulcrum volume to the outer bearing because of the distance increased between the wheel and hub.
I have a 2022 4runner and wanted to put 20x9 wheels and planning to lift 3 inches. What offset do I need to get? Negative or positive? And what size of tires do i need to get. Thanks
That will all depend on recommendations made by the lift manufacturer and their specifications, the wider the rim the more negative offset will be needed.
I have a stock 2019 Tundra Trd Pro with 18 inch rims. I’d like to give it a more aggressive look. Thinking about keeping the 18’s and upgrading to 37 inch tires and a 6 inch lift. What the best offset for this setup to avoid control arm and rubbing? (I’m prepared to modify plastic bumper trim.)
Test fitment is always recommended when going to aftermarket wheels but the rule to keep in mind is your stock offset +55 / +60 = 2-17” / 2.36” (mm to inches).
6 inch lift (going up) what is the ideal stance for offset to match (height vs width)? It is a preference, but a vehicle on stilts is much more prone to rollover than a vehicle with a wide base especially with the overall large footprint of a 37”. Deal with a professional when lifting to get the best information recommended by manufacturers, but your vehicle shape should look more like a triangle and less like a field goal H.
I have a 2016 Tacoma with 4 inch BDS lift with 32.5 inch tires currently I have 18 inch Fuel wheels with -19 off set. I'm thinking of getting 18 inch TRD Po wheels with a +20 off set will these fit
You will lose 39mm or 1.54” of your offset. Meaning the rim will cause the wheel and tire to go in (the wheel well) that much distance. Hard to say if it will fit but with a 4” lift, your stance vs center of gravity will take a hit making the cornering seem much less stable and more top heavy since your are in essence narrowing your tire footprint.
@@ThePitStopTirePros What about adding wheel spacers?
@@PHILLIPS8822 you can, but there’s an additional torque applied to the hub bearing as a cause. But if your not off-road consistently shouldn’t be an issue.
@@ThePitStopTirePros I've never done off road. Any idea what brand spacers are good quality?
@@PHILLIPS8822 honestly we never do spacers at our shop, we are a heavy off-roading area. But I’m sure there’s some reputable companies for them.
Man I’m so confused. I am buying a +15 offset sema wheel for my Tacoma and running 265/70/17 with stock suspension. Hoping it works out
Most are offsets are a high positive #. So it should bring the tire out about 1/2” or so, and the tire should be fine for a third gen & second gen tacos, might have some issues with first gen. Just have to test fit and verify.
@@ThePitStopTirePros wow, appreciate the quick response. It’s a 2022. Thank you!
@@mistert780 I use an alignment turntable to check wheel well fitment. I would request the same for the installer.
I drive a 2019 Chevy Silverado rst. I upgraded the suspension to Bilstein and icon ucas and now I’m sitting completely leveled. My stock rims are +24mm. I plan on install 18” rims with -12 offset wrapped in 33”x11.5. Do you think this set up will rub? Thanks for your expertise
Whenever we do any install we always take into account the recommended tire size the lift manufacturer states as the maximum tire size that will fit the vehicle after installation. Your offset difference is 1.417”. So take into account where the tire sits now and figure that distance it’s going to move outward. Whether or not it will rub depends again on the recommendation from the lift manufacturer, sometimes you have to call them, as well as the intended jump in width which your average rim is going to be 7.5-9” which 11.5” is between 22-45% wider. Even at 9” the 11.5” gives you 2.5” total increase giving you 1.25” in both directions. The offset gave you 1.417” outward and the width took away 1.25” so your left with .16” of additional clearance. Although this is all speculation as typically having our customers in shop and measuring all of this is our usual protocol. Bottom line recommendation would be to get all of your existing measurements and compare them to your desired component measurements and as long as they fall within the limits of what the wheel well will fit, plus a test fit will give you your answer.
Great info! Thanks man
What wheels are those?
Ultra
Thanks a lot.
Good info!
Yeah yeah you could have simply said... the higher the offset the closer the wheel is to your chassis and the lower the offset the further the wheel is from your chassis & everything else would have been self-explanatory but all that jargon just complicates things more than necessary 🤦🏻
Awesome 😎 thanks
wish I knew this before I got my wheels 💀 they're -36 offset
nice video but thats the factory spare 😂
i want to tell u , i did not understand anything u said..........=(
Want your truck to be the dirtiest around? Offset your snow/mud tires in winter and watch the dirt fly
Unnecessary soundtrack
Now you need to upgrade the vehicle to a real vehicle like a Chevy truck or a Jeep
You guys never measured king line and scrub radius. That’s not safe at all. You need a new knuckle that is very low from the center of the wheel. Those shocks are now greatly reduced in effectiveness as well as controlling the car is fooked
Great video. Thanks man.
