XD offsets

[Hawaiianbasshead]

I found a set of Balzac's locally 18x10" but I don't know the offset. they currently have 33x13.5 Iroks on them so I can't just measure I don't think. plus I'm not exactly clear on how do do that. I think it's get the outter lips cut in half so 5.5" and measure the back and whats left is the offset... so if it's 0mm offset I should end up with 5.5" backspace? or $1,000 and from the pix they look to be in good shape, rims and tires. so I'd like to check them out. but I'll have to fly to honolulu AND ship them if I pick them up. so I'd more than likely check out a couple different wheels or setup to check out a few so I end up with something after I pay $200 to go there and back so anyway I ran a search on these rims and came up with +0mm offset is all they were available in so I'm here checking if anyone knows.. thanks

also my kid loves hotwheels so I was thinking of trying to get the hotwheels KMC centercaps anyone know how much they run? I figure they probably would fit, they look pretty similar the balzac and these





would be fun to have I think

10" wheel with 0mm offset do have 5.5" of backspacing, so the rims will stick out 2" more than the factory 18x8" rims. Probably will need the pinch weld mod, but doesn't look like a big deal to me.

I have a leveling kit and 3" body lift but I hacked one side to hell so I could probably clear a 36" w/proper backspaced rims if I cut it up the wall like it is on the inside.. think I have a pic...





oh yeah, and my old 17x9 had -12 offset so they already stuck out pretty far... I think about 2" or more even... eh, I'll figure it later I suppose... they had 4.5" BS think I actually understand it now.. get the size, cut it in half then subtract the 12mm from my 5" = 4.5" BS so if I could measure do it backwards 9"+1"= 10" cut in half = 5" -12mm/.5 = 4.5" BS I just never used it to actually calculate tires... now on the other end, I had 17x7.5" stock OR wheels w/+25 or +30 iirc... which would be 8.5"/2=4.25+25=5.5" backspace stock which would be 3" sticking out? so wouldn't that mean 5.5" would only stick out 1" past stock OR? or does front space not work like back? I don't know how you got 2" past the stock 18" wheels, but I suppose I can just compare my -12 17x9 to the 0mm 18x10 to keep it simpler

oh yeah, and I started this thread to find out if the Balzac came in other offsets not to know if it'll clear, with my amount of lift I'd be hard pressed to get a rim combo w/33" that would rub

side note, does anyone know what ft/lbs TQ tire places normally use for wheels? considering getting a cordless impact w/high TQ. a guy with the milwaukee one told me he changes tires with it...

cordless high TQ impact, I know the ebay links usually are screwed here so heres a pic not a regular cordless impact at all, it's rated 325ft/lbs



not the typical low TQ 1/2" square or 1/4" hex drive type, just to make sure they're no confusion

dammit they sold already he had them posted like 3 times over a month and finally when I decide I want them... serves me right for waiting

I have a Hilti... lugnuts are not an issue. Sometimes with old rusted bolts I need to hit them with the torch first, then get them with the impact wrench.

Just get one with a lot of toqure... don't try to save money by getting one with low toqure, or you will probably just end up buying the one you should have in the first place.

hm... may get some hotwheels I guess since I can't get the Balzacs... I guess I could get RBPs.... I like the Hotwheels logo in there and think little kids would dig it... I know my son does, showed him yesterday and he wants me to get them trying to find out if they're available in 10"width with a somewhat positive offset
