HELP! validate my wheel order specs

[chtucker]

I think I got it right
17x8.5
6x5.5
93.1mm bore
5.5" backspacing (19mm positive offset)

Hoping to have someone smarter than me confirm that I ain't crazy.

Bueller???

Any help would appreciated

+19 and/or 5.5 inch BS should work. Gonna poke a small amount.
I'm going to find my post about factory BS....

(edit) Everything else looks OK! (edit)

To be frank, it's a bit unsettling saying , yep, go ahead on somebody elses $$$ wheel order.

LOL
But hell yeah, go for it!

For my own reference:

As computed by Tiresize.com backspace/offset calculator.

16 x 7 = +55mm offset = 6.17" Backspace (Base)

17 & 18 x 7.5 = +55mm = 6.42" backspace
(BB, BD & OBX)

17 x 8 = +55mm offset = 6.67" backspace (Badlands)

17 x 8.5 = +30mm off = 5.93" backspace (Squatch)

93.1 center bore
6 x 5.5 bolt pattern

BL wheels offset = +55
Squatch = +30
So +19 will have a bit more poke
I have not seen a bore size for the Bronco
6 x 5.5 = 6 x 139.7 so good there
8.5 is a good for 35's or 37's

Thanks all. These are for my wife's Badlands SAS... Figured slightly wider stance, but only by 11mm each side.. so less than an inch wider.

I am getting conflicting info if the stock wheels are hub or lug centric, didn't want to chance it and I am having the wheels custom bored to 93.1mm

Can't go wrong with that.

Try chasing that rabbit into the SAE forums. That info is very hard to find, like dark magic or something.
I am not a subject matter expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I did search high and low for competent information.

If you dig into the engineering rabbit hole to try and learn about wheel spacers and hub/lug centric issues etc etc.... the consensus seemed to be that wheels , by nature, have to be lug centric.
The best explanation I read as to why, was...
If you made the hub as snug as required to be "truely" hub centric, it would seize the wheel onto the hub once every thing warmed up. There would be no changing a flat on the side of a highway for a few hours until things cooled down.
They said the hub is mostly for getting it "centered enough" that the lugs will seat/center the wheel properly and do their job even when not torqued/installed in the proper sequence as the average driver is likely to do.
Hub centering rings can acheive this just as well with over bored centers.
Even some of the higher end wheel makers will resort to wheel spacers just to simplfy their process.... BBS comes to mind.

So, yeah, you did well.
