2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission KMC Backseat rim?

[KLockliear]

Anyone sporting a KMC Backseat in chrome or black on their 2nd Gen? I'd love to see a pic of it. Thanks!

Keith, never seen them before, but i just did a search and i like them. You gonna go 18 or 20, or full on pimpin 22? Do you know what the backspacing is on those?? I just put Mazzi Hulk 20x10s on my truck but they only have 4&3/4 backspace. with 305 55r20 toyos on them they stick out too far. I have 2000 miles on them and want to get rid of them, a little to blingy, it was an impulse. I am kind of into the black wheel look, I might pick up a set of those in black and ditch my Mazzi's. Price on those seems pretty good.

I was planning on the 20" rim with a 305/55-20 tire, but I'm not sure that's enough tire for the rim (I don't want a low profile looking setup). Can you post a picture of your rig since you have the same tire and size rim I'm looking at?

Great looking wheel. Good find. It took me a while to find the specs on the website. The 18's and 20's have a 0 offset. On a 9" wheel, that would equate to roughly 4. 5" of backspacing. About the same as EVERY other wheel out there.



I have to assume that the only way to get enough backspacing is to either use a factory wheel or a custom wheel maker like Billet Specialties. They will set the offset/backspacing to whatever you request (within reason of course).



my . 02...

So Andy, are you saying you don't think that wheel will fit?

Keith they'll fit, they are just going to stick out. Some people love that look, some people hate it... Check the link above in my sig for my 03. Those wheels were 17x9's with 5. 25"s of backspacing. They stuck out pretty good. You're going to be hanging out another 3/4". Even sticking out, they looked killer on my truck (IMHO)... HOWEVER, those BFG's kicked up small rocks pretty bad. A couple of paint chips in that Patriot Blue paint, and the wheels went to a new owner.



EDIT: Matter of fact, check out this link:

BIllet Specialties

There's some pictures of us putting the wheels on the truck. I took several pictures showing how much they stuck out.



I called Billet Specialties, and they would have cut the centers out and re-Tig'd them to the backspacing of my choosing, and re-polished them for $250/wheel. I decided not to do it... sold the truck shortly threreafter.
