Do these wheels have the same backspace/offset as the stock wheels?

whoops.....my bad, the factory wheels are 8.5" wide LOL. So I corrected the numbers. Sorry for that.

the fuel beast is available in 9" widths, either 17" 18" 20" diameter with 6x135 bolt pattern.

if you go 9" wide with the +20 offset, they will be similar inner clearance/backspacing. (0.29"more inner clearance to be exact)

oem wheels are 6.1" backspacing, a 9" wheel with +20 offset is 5.75" backspacing.

but with wider wheel, the new 9" wheel will stick out 0.78" further.

you could go with the 9" wide wheel, with +1 offset, gives you 5" backspacing, 1" more inner clearance, but will stick out 1.5" more than the factory wheels.

oem wheels are 5.6" backspacing, a 9" wheel with +20 offset is 5.75" backspacing.

but with wider wheel, the new 9" wheel will stick out 1.25" further.

you could go with the 9" wide wheel, with +1 offset, gives you 5" backspacing, 0.5" more inner clearance, but will stick out 2" more than the factory wheels.


What he said. Lol.

SORRY....corrected the measurements. I thought the oem wheels were 7.5" wide. After more research, it looks like the oem wheels are 8.5" wide.

Is this supposed to light up?

if the shifter is anything like my wife's explorer, it does light up. It's just barely visible. Turn the dimmer all the way up and check it again during night time. I think it's faint, but does light up a light blue. And I don't think the letters light up any differently when it's in that particular gear. Would be nice to see blue to red when in a particular gear.
