I want to go with 16x8 wheels and found some that have -13 offset. How far out will these stick out? And what's the max tire size I can run with either that offset or 0 offset with torsions cranked and 2in blocks on the back? I know these questions are always asked but couldn't find anything for only 8in wide wheels.an I'd like to run 315s but didn't know if there's any way to make them work without a lift. Thanks

That -13 offset will push the tire 13mm further out from the fender then a center or 0 offset wheel. Which is about a half inch. About the 315's. The only luck you'll probably have on a 16" wheel is a 315/75R16 which is too big with no lift, its almost a 35. The tire you're looking for if you want it wider is a 305/70R16 which is 32.8" and its 12" wide. Should fit if you crank hard. The by far most common tire to run with no lift on a 16" wheel is a 285/75R16. That's the same height as the 305 but its only 11.2" wide. My tahoe has 295/70R17, those are taller, like 33.3" and i cranked mine all the way and did 1in blocks in the back. i had to trim a little. Go to Tire Size Conversion and play with the calculators if you are not satisfied with the sizes a told you. They populate a list of suggested tire sizes that are close to whatever you put in.
