MY1PATH Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 backspacing was 3.75 for the alloy rims (15x7) the steelies may have been 3.5 for something like a 15x6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precise1 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Yes, 3.75" is stock, but I thought that was for both alloy and steel rims. What width and offset rims do you have mounted now?? B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I think the "standard" aftermarkt steel wheels are at 4"BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyb33 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Stock is no way shape or form 3.75 backspacing. It is more like 5 inch backspacing, maybe 4.75..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Stock backspacing is 3.75" and most direct replacements for stock are 4.00" as stated above and many times before and various threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyb33 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 You are wrong. flat out wrong. go look at your stock legos, they are not 3 and 3/4 backspacing. no fawking way. just take a tape measure and eye it, and you will see it is no where near that, but is more like and inch or inch and a quarter more than 3.75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Very annoying that the FSM doesn't show the backspacing, but it does state the offset for the legos to be 25mm or .98" and for the steelies 30mm or 1.18". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Back space is measured from the outside edge of the rim to the mounting surface of the wheel. Offset is usually the amount the mounting surface is different from the center line of the rim front to back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyb33 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Very annoying that the FSM doesn't show the backspacing, but it does state the offset for the legos to be 25mm or .98" and for the steelies 30mm or 1.18". So, the Legos are a 7 inch width rim. With an offset nearing an inch. so the centerline on the legos would come to 3.5 inches. Add the offset to that, making it 4.5 inches of backspacing. The Steelies are a 6 inch wide rim. With an offset a little more than an inch. so the centerline on the steelies would be 3 inches. Add the offset to that, making it 4.20 inches of backspacing. Both PROVING my point about them not being 3.75 inches backspacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
