Wheel backspace and offset For LB hatch

Post by vjval360 »

Hi, trying to find some info on wheel sizes people may have used. On a stock LB hatch what is the biggest rim you will get under the car and also tyre. Looking at a set of 15 x 8 but I am thinking they are too big. Also if someone has done the exercise, what is the max backspace or best offset. Would prefer a little bit of dish if possible and staggered sizes too.
Thanks in advance

i can tell you in an LC, i comfortably fit 15x8 -20 in front and rear. I think with flares and right tyres/offset id be able to get 15x10s in there. Not sure the difference between LB and LC though

205/55/15 which is technically a slight stretch but i reckon i can get some 265s under there with minor mods.
Never drove on them - had to go hilux 5 stud shortly after i got them. Did a full turning circle without scrubbing though.
