Default Late model king ranch 20" wheel backspace

Anyone know the backspace or offset on the 2014 king ranch 20" wheels? Looks like theyve had the same wheels since 2009. Cant find any backspace info anywhere

Thanks! that helps a lot.
If one were to add 1.5" wheel adapters it would change the effective backspacing to 4.5? Or is there more involved than simple math?

That is correct, but do not and I repeat do not add wheel spacers as I did that and I had a wheel come off going down the road and its not good for the steering components as it throws off the geometry and adds stress to the suspension.

Golfman454ss - That is correct, but do not and I repeat do not add wheel spacers as I did that and I had a wheel come off going down the road ...
Happens when .....
  • hub centric adapters are not used.
  • the adapters are not properly installed. e.g. torqued correctly.
  • the wheels are not properly installed. e.g. torqued correctly.
  • cheap, low quality adapters are used.
    etc., etc..
... and its not good for the steering components as it throws off the geometry and adds stress to the suspension.
High quality, hub centric, properly installed adapters with the right wheels add no more stress to the steering components nor throw-off the geometry any more than normal wheel mountings.

Have used adapters and spacers for over 30 years on a large variety of vehicles (cars and trucks) with absolutely no issues and/or problems.
