Ford Mustang Wheel Backspacing vs Offset Explained (Steeda)
It's time to put a new set of wheels on your beloved Ford Mustang. You've been eyeing that set of Velgen VF5 wheels. Maybe this is the finishing touch on a months-long restoration project, or you are just beginning planned modifications, or those boring factory rims just won't do anymore. The most important thing about this upgrade is determining what wheels will fit on your ride. Beyond wheel size, there are several specifications to ensure correct wheel and tire fitment, including bolt pattern, offset, and backspacing.
A bolt pattern is easy to figure out (we've got a chart below), but let's first look at offset and backspacing. Wheel backspacing vs offset involves two different methods of measuring a wheel's location when secured to the wheel hub. In other words, this involves how far in or out the wheels from the hub.
