Hey everyone. Long time lurker, just registered and this is my first post.

I came across a set of wheels I really, really like and for a great price but they are for a 6 lug Ford. I would like to put them on my 05 Suburban. They are 22x10 with a backspacing of 6.25" on one pair, and 7" on the second pair. I've been trying to do as much research as possible as to what would be the ideal backspacing on 22x10's on a Suburban to get the wheels to sit flush with the fenders. I don't want them sticking out, and I'd rather not have them to far in either. The truck is at stock height at the moment, but I do plan on lowering it, how much will depend on what wheels I do end up going with. I haven't been able to find a definite answer to my question, so I was hoping someone here might be able to help. Ford/Chevy adapters can be found in thicknesses ranging from .75" to 2" or even more. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I know I have the offset on my wheels are +30.. Not sure what that is in back spacing but my wheels are perfectly flush with my fenders maybe in just a tad but but looks perfect.

way off on this one.


on a 10 inch wheel you would want a 30mm offset
7 inch backspacing is 38mm offset on that so you will need to run at least a 1 inch adapter which brings it to a 13mm offset which sticks out of the fenderwells
