Rim Question

[kreed5821]

4/115 Douglas Quad-Rok Wheel 9X8 3.0 + 5.0

What does the "3.0 + 5.0" mean?

thats the backspacing (offset) of the wheel...that number doesnt really matter unless you are looking at front rims

It's the offset measurement. I think that 3 + 5 means 3 inches on the inner side of the wheel, and 5 inches on the outer side (could be the other way around, but I think that's how it goes)

It does matter for the rear, because it will change the width, depending on the offset. For example, if the raptor's stock offset is 3 + 5, and you replace them with 4 + 4 it'll be 2 inches narrower.

Do any of you know what the stockers are? I found on the Douglas website where it explained about the original question I posted and you are right, the first number is the inside offset.

It does matter on both the front and rear. The fronts are 2 + 3 I believe not sure of the rears but stock rears are 9 x 9 not 9 x 8
