    So I put a set of 33s on my leveled TRDOR with stock rims and with a 1.5 inch spacer I fixed the rubbing problem, but I am a bit paranoid about wheel spacers. With the +25 factory offset would 0 mm wheels still work or what negative offset would I need to keep from rubbing? Thanks!!

    Which would equate to a wheel with -13mm offset.

    Not exactly correct. Rim width affects this as well. Here’s a calculator for you. My aftermarket 8 inch wide wheels with +1 offset extend 37mm from stock wheel or 1.45 inches.
    If you get a 9 inch wide wheel with -12 offset it extends 62mm or 2.44 inches further.
    8 inch wide with -12 is 50mm or 2 inches further.
    Point is to be careful with your rim width. Don’t go solely off of offset difference.

    On a wheel that is same width as factory. Change the width, change the offset.

    he didn't ask anything about changing rim sizes, he simply asked what offset would equate a 1.5 inch spacer. so a 16x7 at -12 works, yeah obviously when you start upping rim widths the dimensions change.

    Sure, but plenty of people don’t understand this, read the first comment and go “well these are -12” and miss the importance that they are also 16x8. It’s best that if there is a discussion about offset that the importance of width/backspacing is discussed too. All it does is add information to the discussion and further clarifies for anyone who comes along to read the thread later.

    They may be out there, but not very common. Can you find me a wheel that’s 7 inches wide with a -12 offset? I’m betting there will be few if any. Width is a huge factor in this so if you just tell someone that doesn’t know to get a -12 offset wheel, it won’t be a 7 inch wide one.
