.........ummmm
i think your talking about back space. this is the distance from the back of the rim to the hub face.
which is different from off set which is the distance from the center line of the rim to the hub face.
offset + 1/2 of rim width is = back space.
stock rim on a turbo is 16x7 +38mm
so 1.5inch (38mm) + 3.5inch = 5inch of back space for a stock turbo rim.

Confused me a lil but that happens very often lol
Ok so in theory I can run 5.75 and b fine ????
Not sure if it's wheel depth or back spacingthats why I included both in original post
Just to clarify. Back of rim to mounting point is wat I'm asking about

if you run a 5.75" back space, the rim with be .75 closer to the frame and I know for fact it will rub with a 24.7" diameter tire.
