Oh wow. I just measured 6.75" off an LX470 wheel.

Wow, thanks, that seems huge.....

So can anyone confirm this messurement? 6.75?

+60 mm offset for sure which equate to 2-3/8"
Half of the wheel are about 4-3/8"
It seem right the back spacing would be 6.75"

Thanks for the fast reply!

OEM Wheels J16x8JJ60

The 16" OEM wheels are J16x8JJ60 with the +60 designating the offset in milimeters (2-3/8" as mentioned by others) and "positive" indicating the lug nut face of the wheel is moved out from the center of the wheel (away from the hub as opposed to toward the hub). The following web site has a good explaination and drawing on page 7.

there is a page somewhere on the web (tirerack?) that has a table with the equivalents between offset and backspacing - the 2 are directly related for a given rim width

No table but here's a drawing:
