    Posted: Jul/24/2021 at 5:00pm
I'm thinking of buying a new set of 16 x 7" wheels and am wondering about the offset and backspacing.  I measured a set of stock 14" Magnum wheels I have here, and they have 4 inch backspacing.  That means offset is 1/2" if I'm figuring this correctly.  Ignoring tire/wheel clearance issues for now, how critical is it to maintain this 1/2" offset when selecting new wheels?
