Do any companys out there that make Billet wheels got over 5.25" backspacing on an 18x7 wheel?

The problem is the hoops, not the wheel manufacturer. There are only a few makers of hoops and unless I am mistaken, all the billet wheel makers use the same hoop. On the 7 inch wide wheel, there isnt enough shoulder to go beyond that spec, about +35 offset.


THere used to be hoops for FWD cars that let them do big offset, I had a set of Billet Specialties back in the day that had 5.75 backspace on a 7 inch wide wheel, when you looked at the truck from the rear you could see the centercaps stick out past the rim haha.

Mine have a high offset, I think they are 5.5 or 5.75 on an 18X7. I had to get them that high so that they cleared the rear. Mine are Boyds.

I sent an email to Intro, I'll see about that one. On the Boyd site it says they only offer up to 5.25" on the 7" wide wheel. I need a minimum of 5.75" to tuck. So far its looking like billets arent an option.

Notice my Bonspeeds aren't flat like everyone else's... they made them so that the offset could be more by curving the face of the wheel.

i think they are a +39.

Where did you get your wheels from? I've never been clear on where to buy Bonspeeds from since their site hasnt been up for years.
