Overview
The Pro Comp Series 252 Street Lock in 15×10 inches is a gloss black windowed steel wheel, part number PCW252-5173, with a 5 on 5 bolt pattern. It is part of Pro Comp Steel Wheels’ Series 252 line, which the brand offers in several sizes and backspacings for off-road builds that want a powder coated steel rim.
The -44 offset sets the mounting face behind the centerline, so this wheel stands farther out from the hub. The 3.75 backspacing is the room behind the mounting face to the rear edge of the rim. The 83 center bore is the hub opening that centers the wheel during mounting.

Tire position and offset
Tire position is set by the offset and the rim width together, so a wide rim with a large negative offset carries the tire farther from the hub. That spacing changes how the tire loads the wheel bearings and how the steering geometry behaves. Many builders match the tire width to the rim width to keep the sidewall well supported.
Related parts often get inspected when a wheel moves outward. Tie rod ends, ball joints and brake hoses can be stretched or rubbed by a tire that sits farther out, so check them during the install. Adding spacers changes loading on the hub and studs, so weigh that carefully before deciding. Recheck everything after the first drive. Write down the measured clearances.

Vehicle fitment
Check fit against your vehicle’s year, model and trim before buying. The 5 on 5 bolt pattern and 83 center bore need to match the hub, and the -44 offset decides how far the tire sits outward. Confirm tire clearance on your own truck before ordering.
Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Because this is a 10 inch rim with a large negative offset, test the tire position at full lock and when the suspension is loaded. Check the windowed openings and the weld seams for cracks before the wheel goes on the truck.
