Do you know what the offset is on these wheels and where did you source them?@Will Van

They are OEM Toyota wheels (PN: 42601-60262-03) in 16" x 6" with

Wouldn’t a 6” wheel with 3.5” backspacing have 0.5” offset? A 7” wheel with 3.5” backspacing would be 0” offset.

Well, they look great! kinda wish I went with those on my 78Fixed it.
You have to include the overall wheel width. In reality 16X6" is actually 16X7".
It is a good rule of thumb to add 1" (1/2" for each flange) to get the overall wheel width but you can do physical measurements to be exact.
Excuse my poor handwriting.

This was a custom piece special made for @Will Van, However if there's a general need for other 70 series parts id be happy to start looking into reproducing FJ70 parts
The stamped width is the inner width of the wheel only.
The flange portion is usually never part of what numbers is shown stamped on the wheel. The “J” is what takes the flange specs into consideration. Never seen it otherwise but I have been wrong many times.

I see what your saying. I've never measured a wheel to include the flanges, only the actual width where the tire rides. I've always ordered custom or production wheels and/or sold them under the actual rim width as well. Flanges are somewhat irrelevant as there is no guarantee they are identical on each side no does their width have any impact on on tire fitting. Regardless of how one chooses to measure, they are in fact a 0 offset.
I do agree it's odd to measure the Rim Width from one point and the offset from another, but all the wheel companies I've ever worked with including Toyota do that.

I might be saying the same thing as others, but IME wheel width is measured bead to bead, not outer lip to outer lip. Offset is from the center line, so is independent from wheel width. And backspace is measured from mounting surface of the wheel to the edge of the lip (not the tire bead). So an 8” wheel and a 6” wheel that both have the same offset will have different backspace (by an inch).
Offset becomes positive, negative or simply "0" based off the mounting surface location from the center line. In the case of the Toyota steel wheel being discussed in this thread, it is "0". I posted up a simple formula to explain this earlier in this thread.
The image that @cruiseroutfit posted up is a good example. That wheel in the image is actually positive offset, not "0".
At this point, I think I need to bow out of this discussion and this is why I rarely get into wheel discussion because I have realized that everyone has a different idea how to measure. I am not saying anyone is right or wrong but it gets confusing.
Says the guy who does this for a living for Toyota.
I’d say you are most likely 100% correct as Toyota is concerned.
not really, overall rim width where offset and backspacing is measured is actually the more important number to fitment on mechanical interference, like calipers, tire rods, steering arms ect.
the other number is more of a quick fit to a tire width range and how that tire will profile.
actually, reading what i wrote it is odd, one width would work

I don't disagree, but many (most?) manufacturers including Toyota don't advertise or use the overall rim width. One must know they are using two different reference points which is exactly why this conversation has been happening
With those tires you won’t need to change the gears…and now on to more important topics. Like how do I fit these 315/75/16 tires on my truck?
