Wheel Tuck Measurement

[More Cow Bell]

Not much experience at all with full-size trucks in this department either. So I will be listening up as well. ON SXS I have a stock offset bead lock race wheel, And rely on different size spacers, four different types of trips, Trail riding, Or fire roads. With that you put a lot of leverage on your hubs. So I focused on ball joints all the bushings and really on the wheel studs.

I cannot help with measurements, only pictures

Looking back on it, it looks like my Raptor was the same. This was with aftermarket wheels that all had the same offset. This is only sort of straight angle I have of it and perspective can be deceiving, but it appears that the front wheels stick out a little more than the rear.

I ordered some 1.5" Bora spacers to see what it looks like. This isn't a permanent solution, I'm just playing around to figure out what offset to get with aftermarket wheels.

And before anyone says 'you're very silly soulsea cause you're going to hit the fenders under flex' ... for the kind of off-roading I do, stability is more important than articulation.

Is that to the sidewall bulge on the tire, or to the outer lip of the wheel? Hate to make you get your string and tape measure out again, but if your measurements are to the tire and not the wheel can you get the measurement to the wheel? Tires vary in size/width even in the same listed size, so having the measuerement to the wheel will give a better number for figuring out wheel/tire combos.

For those of you who are interested, this is a great tool for figuring out how a different set of wheels will fit compared to your current wheel. I use it all the time when doing wheel selection for vehicle builds:

Wheel Offset Calculator | 1010Tires.com Discount Online Tire and Wheel Store

Use this calculator to determine the effect of changing your wheel width and offset. First enter your current wheel width and offset. Then enter your new wheel width and offset. Next click the calculate button. It will show the clearance between the inside of the wheel and the strut housing...

www.1010tires.com

It allows you to input wheel width and offset values of your current wheel, and then input the width and offset values of the wheel you are considering. With the values entered it will determine how much further the wheel will stick out/in and how much inner clearance/loss you will have. This can be particularly important not only for the tires hitting the fenders, but also whether a wheel/tire set up will clear things like the spindle, upper control arm, etc.
