  • Making it Fit: Our guide to calculating all things wheel, tire, and offset.

    Thought I would throw up a few links that I routinely use for wheel and tire calculations.

    Simple Wheel Offset Calculator

    Tire Size Calculator

    Wheel and Tire Calculator

    BBS Thread for n00bs

    Tire Stretch Gallery

    Tire Stretch Utility, opens in Excel

    Handy little chart for measuring wheel ET and backspacing:


    That is all I have off of the top of my head. I know a few more, but those will get everybody started. If you need something specifically that I didn't post, then let me know.

                Is it just me or is the stretch calculator a little off?

                My buddy has 205/45s on a 16x8 that stretch nicely, the calculator reads that as square

                  lol, my 205/40's on an 8 were damn near square. 205mm = 8.07 inches

                  I was running Fuzions which are notoriously narrow as well

                      I had 205/40s on the fronts of the 8" WRDs, they didn't have very much stretch at all to them. It is also dependent on what particular tire you are running, as Sean mentioned.
