wheel question.
« on: March 15, 2012 - 02:41:07 PM »
I tried to just run a tape measure through these rims still on the car and get the width.  The front and the back both appear to be 9 inches.  Was that a common size for these wheels? How can I measure back spacing?  if I take them off and run a straight edge across the rim on the back and measure from the straight edge to the back mounting area on the wheel, will that be back spacing?

Thanks in advance for the help.

so I probably have 8 inch rims front and back.  That sounds better to me.  :smokin:

Looking at the picture, you appear to have standard cop wheels.  All of those came from the factory as 15x7s.  Unless yours are custom or modified.

10-4 thank you for the info.  I doubt there is anything custom about them, I'm having tires put on today so I'll try and measure just so I'll have the info.
