900 backspacing question. 92 turbo convertible Posted by Ken [Email] (#2113) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Ken) on Thu, 29 Jun 2017 15:03:47 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
When looking for aftermarket wheels, I found the biggest challange, aside from finding 4x108 wheels I liked, was offset and backspacing. The stock 15x5.5 wheels have a 40mm offset, with a resultant backspacing of approx 4.8 inches. 9000 wheels are 15x6 and have a +33 offset and 5" backspace. One aftermarket I like only has a +25 offset and 4.5 backspace. I'd run the same 195/60 tires, so do you think the slightly shallower backspace will be an issue?
These are a silvervane/minilite design. No luck in finding OEM Silvervanes in decent shape for reasonable money.
