Tire fitment
« on: August 02, 2013 - 08:17:09 PM »
 :clueless: So my rims are 14x7 . I finally measured backspace or offset whatever its called. 3.5 inches. Stock 8 3/4 323 rear end. I want to put 245 60r14 on back and 235 60r14 up front. Any opinions or someone already using this setup?

Backspace and offset are 2 different things.....you can calculate one from the other...which did you measure?

Backspace is from the car edge (as opposed to the curb edge) to the mounting area.
Offset is the distance (positive or negative) from the center line to the mounting area.

This may help:
