Wheel backspace on RXV with 20 inch tires?

Isaac-1

I need to upgrade the tires on the 2010 RXV I bought last week, the old ones are worn and starting to crack. I have decided to go with 20 inch tires, specifically some 20x8 on 10 inch rims, as these should fit on a Non-lifted RXV based on everything I have found online. The problem is I find all sorts of numbers for correct back space when I look online, so I am turning to you for some help.

p.s. It does not help that the cheapest by far combo in this size range I find are mounted on non-offset rims, which just seems questionable to me.

I think u want offset. 3+5

And cracks are not really a big deal, it's a golf cart. Tube them and go on

crash test dummy

tubing a worn cart tire is not really a fix
as for off set it helps with tire rub


also cheapest is not always best

Correct but a tube may get you years more life out of a tire that would no longer hold air. It does not fix the cracks but can get more life out of them.

Now if you want off road tires, I totally understand, get offset rims.

The problem is not only the cracks, but the lack of tread left on the current tires

Ok then yea time for new ones.

We go through this on tractor forums. Folks think that cause the tires cracked they need new ones. Even though they have like 80% tread left. We try to tell them you can tube those and possibly get 20 more years out of them. A blow out bush hogging at 5mph is just an inconvenience not like a safety hazard. A golF cart it's a bit more dangerous but you weigh your risks in this type stuff.

Well for better or worse I ordered the cheap wheel / tire combination with little backspace, but at $25 plus shipping per tire ($160 total)/ wheel for 20x8.00-10 even if they are Wanda's it is hard to go wrong. I will post how they fit once they get in, and add spacers as needed. If anyone else needs cheap 20 inch tires, they have them both mounted and not mounted online at surpluscenter, and I don't think they will be running out soon as they show over 5,700 in stock for the mounted ones.

That seems kind of expensive to me?
