How to Read Wheel Offset & Measurements
Use these two references before ordering: the left diagram shows where each spec (PCD, center bore, offset, width and diameter) is measured on the wheel; the right diagram shows how positive, zero and negative offset shift the wheel face relative to the hub centerline.
ANKUSI Engineering Expert Advice
SUVs carry more curb weight higher off the ground, so wheel strength and rotational mass both matter more than on a comparable sedan — a heavier wheel amplifies body roll and slows steering response exactly where the platform is already working hardest. Forging keeps the wheel light without giving up the load rating the factory suspension geometry was tuned around.
The Daihatsu Sportrak runs a 5x139.7 bolt pattern, 108.1mm center bore, and a 15x6.0J, front and rear, wheel from the factory. Our Flush Fitment reference is 15x7.0J ET-10, which tucks the tire under the fender lip on a stock-height Daihatsu Sportrak. Our Maximum Aggressive reference is 16x8.0J ET-15 — beyond that offset, expect rubbing against the inner fender liner under compression without further trimming.
Daihatsu Sportrak OE Wheel Specs
The 1997 Daihatsu Sportrak (SUV) uses a 5x139.7 bolt pattern with a 108.1mm center bore. Factory wheels are 15x6.0J F/R.
Why the factory spec works for most owners:
- Preserves the factory-tuned ride and steering feel
- A mainstream size for this segment, keeping tire choice wide and prices reasonable
- Leaves full clearance for the stock brakes and suspension hardware
- Keeps handling predictable and consistent in everyday conditions
Flush Fitment
For a flush look with minimal rubbing, F/R 15x7.0J ET-10 is the recommended starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Daihatsu Sportrak.
Maximum Aggressive Fitment
F/R 16x8.0J ET-15 is a more aggressive reference setup. Beyond this, expect rubbing under compression without fender rolling or camber correction.

Decision Guide
Offset & Backspacing Reference
Backspacing is calculated as wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance):
- OE: 15x6.0J ET0 → ~3.5″ backspacing
- Flush: 15x7.0J ET-10 → ~3.61″ backspacing
- Max: 16x8.0J ET-15 → ~3.91″ backspacing
Want to check a different width or offset before you order? Use our Offset & Backspacing Calculator to solve the numbers yourself, or looking for your exact Daihatsu spec, or want a wheel built to a custom offset for your Daihatsu Sportrak? Contact ANKUSI with your bolt pattern and offset target and we will confirm the correct forged wheel spec for your build.
