This may explain it a bit simpler Again 4x4 site but your problem now is too much backspacing and more backspacing will increase the problem. https://ok4wd.com/blog/the-differenc...d-backspacing/ |
I get it now. I need a wheel with a negative offset.
As for the trick with the washers, I stacked three 1/2 washers on each stud after measuring their thickness with my caliper. They were 9/32 of an inch or about 7 mm. Which is darn close to measurement of the other 15 inch wheel that I mentioned. While it fit and the wheel turned, the caliper was only clear by the finest measurement known to man (as my Dad used to say). It's unfortunately clear, that simply buying a 15 by 7 inch wheel with 0 offset and 4 backspace will not work and as you mentioned, is moving in the wrong direction.
Should I just consider moving to a 16 inch wheel with -6 offset and 3.75 backspace?
