Wasn't it established that offset is how far the wheel mounting space was from the center of the wheel? If the wheel has 0 offset, and it is 7" wide, then the backspacing is 3.5". Stock backspacing is 4", and a stock wheel is only 5.5" wide. So, if my calculations are correct, your new wheels will stick out 2.5" further than the stock wheels plus however much farther the tires stick out.

OK guys figured it out here are the spec on the wheel.

15X7 5-5.5 0 4"back space

so stock is like 4 1/4" this one is 4" but has a 7" surface and stock is 5.5 so this rim is 1.5 wider and so forth.

Cause on my stock rims when i go offroading the tire hits the frame a bit so i guess with this the tire will be 1/4" out more and 1.5 wider :-[

Its weird tho if the rim is 7" wide and its a 0 offset would the backspacing not be 3.5"??? I dunno
