I'm strongly considering putting 16x8 Cragar Soft 8s on my truck. Currently no drop, but likely a 3/4 drop soon.
The Soft 8s are 16" x 8" with 5" Backspacing (ET 13). They will stick out about 30mm more than stock wheels, so 1.18 (1 3/16) inches. I think the stock fenders on a 2004 can accommodate that with some fender rolling perhaps. Especially since I don't want to tuck them. I want more of a "drift truck" or "Motorsport" look.
I want a tire with a bit of sidewall, like a 215/60R16 maybe.
Does anyone have pics of a similar setup on their truck?
I'm pretty sure at a 3-4 drop you could run almost anything and not hit your fenders... That being said, the truck with the chrome wheels looks like its at 4-5 in the front and 5-6 in the rear (drop) and the truck with black wheels looks to be a 3/4 drop. From experience i know that at a 3-4 drop you can run a 18x8.5 +30 with a 225/40/18 without issues. Now if you use that wheel/tire combo, the cragars should have 10-11mm more offset (stick out further, about .4inches). Now that being said, the 215/60/16's are going to be an inch taller than the 225/40/18's i compared them to, so that will definitely make a difference in rubbing issues. Hopefully this helps, i'm pretty sure my math on offset is correct, but it gets tricky when i try and compare tire sizes too.
