Back spacing looks to be 5"?

I think this is it as well
Bolt Pattern: 5 x 4.50
Thread Size: 1/2"
16" x 8" - +13 mm Offset
Backspacing - 5.00"
Lug Styel: Coni Seat / Acorn Lug

and thickness of your tires? I'd only ever get 15x8 3.75"BS or 4"BS wheels
the ones you're looking are basically a stock size rim. I'm pretty sure stock BS is 5" anyway. kind of a waste of cash to get those ones

Tires are 265/75/16 Which is the brand I want. Doing wheels and tires, same time.Originally Posted by Atmos

Lift says 4.75" BS is max? Why? Control arms?

Can't find the back spacing though. What does 12b mean?

16x8 - 16" wheel nominal diameter, 8" between bead seats (allows for wider tyres)
5-4.5 - 5 lugs, 4.5" bolt circle.
12 - I'm checking the linked page (and the links off of that page,) it looks to be the wheel offset, but I don't see how it's being measured.
B - Black finish.
"Offset" and "backspacing" are somewhat related.
"Backspacing" is the relative distance between the rear face of the wheel (vehicle side) and the wheel mounting surface (WMS) - measured by laying a straightedge across the inner flanges and then measuring to the WMS. This value is always positive.
"Offset" is the location of the WMS relative to the centre plane of the wheel. This value may be positive, negative, or zero. A "zero offset" indicates that the WMS is coplanar to the centre plane of the wheel, a "positive" offset puts the WMS on the "street side" (as they put it) of the wheel, while a "negative" offset moves the WMS toward the vehicle (making the outer wheel appear deeper.)
I'm sure they use a standard value for each increment of wheel offset, I just don't know what it is. Could be millimetres, centimetres, eighth-inches, quarter-inches, half-inches, or whatever. So, an offset of "12" could be 12m/m, 12c/m, 12x1/4" (three inches,) 12x1/2" (six inches) - I don't know, and I'd probably be emailing them to ask. I don't like specs I don't understand.
