microfiz Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Thinking of changing out the rims (stock and look like they belong to an 80's Escort GT... lol!). I found this: https://www.4wd.com/p/pro-comp-52-rock-crawler-series-gloss-black-powder-wheels-52-6783/_/R-FPWF-52-6783 The backspacing is 4 inch when all the threads I found say 3.75 inches is butter (I know... 0.25 inches isn't much). Just want to see someone with stock size wheels (255/65/16) on this type of rim. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bax03SE Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Idk if youll find pictures, but stock r50 16x7 rims are a 20 mm offset, which equals about 4.8 inch backspacing. So those new rims with 4 inch backspacing will stick out .8 inches further than stock. It should fit just fine with the stock tires, and should also clear up to 265/75/16 as well if you were interested in lifting and going with a bigger tire. Hope that helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

microfiz Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 Well, I did end up buying the rims. I also found a set of used tires (mismatched but they were bigger @ 265/70/16) and installed them by hand (thanks to Youtube for all the tips... wasn't hard at all). I did have to pay for balancing so all in all, I spent $390 for this endeavor ($250 for the rims, $20 for the nuts incuding anti-theft nuts, $70 for tires, $10 for valve stems and $40 for balancing). Didn't spend for new tires initially since I was concerned with interference but after testing it out, I'll probably switch out tires sooner than later. Still a huge improvement over stock, in my opinion. And one more pic of my beloved Helga: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
