Please help, I am so tired of calling people and emailing with no avail. I am trying to find a set of rims for my F650 and am not having luck with the backspacing that I need. These rims are running all around down here in SoCal but the shops I have been calling are not being very helpful. I have the part# for 2 diff. rims that alcoa offers in a 22.5"/13" which is the size I need (according to their site and reps they only offer these two in a 13"). The part that I cannot figure out is the backspacing. I need 10"-11" of backspacing and these larger wheels go by offset and inset which I do not understand. Can anyone here help.
Rim#1- 22.5x13 - outset 6.42 / inset 5.3 (part#833660)
Rim#2- 22.5x13 - outset 3.5 / inset2.38 (part#833653)
I am just trying to get about 10"11" inches and am not sure which one is closer. I have called alcoa several times and they state that I need to figure out the outset/inset.
Please help as I am about to go nuts on this truck............ :mad: :mad:
Thanks, Kelly
****Outset (positive)/inset (negative) - The distance from the rim centerline to the mounting face of wheel. Inset (negative) places the rim centerline inboard of the wheel mounting face and outset (positive) places the rim centerline outboard of the wheel mounting face (1/2 dual spacing = offset).
