Not sure if I'm thinking about it the right way, but to me a 0.44" offset on a 5" rim would put the backspacing at 2.94", and therefore approx 2" facing from the wheel mount surface. A 4" offset on a 6" rim puts the facing at around 2" as well. So in theory the wheel 'outer' should look the same as a stock rim, but the extra inch of the newer rims is to the inside of the truck. Hopefully that makes sense. Can anyone confirm whether that's about right, or am I taking the offset the wrong way??

BigSix, do you think if yours were 16x6 rather than 16x8, the spacing would look more stock?

My 16x8 look pretty close to what I think the factory 17.5 would have looked but 16x6 would probably not change the back spacing. I think they are all 4" from wheel vintiques. It's worth calling them because they do custom make backspacing.
