Wheels for a duster offset and backspace

BOXHEADgumby said
I got the motegi tracklites. 17x8 rear 17x7 front
running nitto tires 225/45/17 front and 245/45/17 rear. The backspacing was 5.5 if I remember right so I used a 1.5 spacer to bring the rear out to what I needed it to be. The front I needed up having to run a small spacer to make the wheels fit because the advertised centerbore was the correct size however the lip that is machined to bolt the centercap on was not accounted for in advertising. I went back and forth about just grinding the lip off and figuring out the center cap later or the route I took. All and all I would say if we had the ability to “upgrade to a more modern smaller hub I think wheel choices could open up even more.

Yeah the center bore issue comes up a lot. It really depends on the design of the rim, some are very thick at the hub so having a wheel cap smaller than the center bore isn't a problem. On others, as you found, the center bore narrowing down to a smaller wheel cap can be an issue. I had that problem with my Enkei RPF1's, even with the smaller diameter aluminum hubs that I have with the 13" DoctorDiff brakes I run. I just took the wheels to my machine shop and had them bored all the way through at 73.1 mm, then did a little custom work on the cap.
