a question to those with big diameter torq thrust II...
just wondering if those with the large diameter TT IIs (17, 18, 20) have custom offset or are they off the shelf wheels?...been doing a lot of looking and not many put the offset and backspacing of their wheels out there.

Re: a question to those with big diameter torq thrust II...
Most are off the shelf. A zero offset wheel works best on both ends of these trucks usually. My wheels are 5 lug legend 5 spoke and not Torque Thrusts, but 17x8 front with 4.5" backspace and 17x9 rear with 5" backspace.
Backspace measured from the outside of the wheel while wheel width measured between the beads. So an 8" wide rim is approximately 9" wide outside to outside, thus a 4.5" backspace has the mounting surface almost centered resulting in a zero offset. Meaning the mounting surface flange neither pushed to the front or rear.

I had custom 18x8.5's made for the rear as off the shelf had too much backspace.
