one question though, why do you have larger diameter in the rear?
also offset please.

hrm... the backspace is 5.500 inches. I calculated that to be +25 offset. But reted said that isn't correct. So the formula I was using must have been wrong. So in truth I do not know what the offset is... But the wheels are engraved with 5.500 inches B/S which I assume to be backspace.
as for the larger diameter comment. OPPS TYPO. sorry about that. it's actualy 245/45/16 in the rear.

i did the math. those are +38mm offset
i made a diagram on a piece of paper.......i'm sure there are calculators but its all just basic math....

[quote name='TYSON' date='May 25 2005, 09:27 AM']0 offset would be 4" backspace on an 8" wheel. Difference between 4 and 5.5 is 1.5, or +38.1mm.

dammit i am not the only one who can do basic math!!!! you bastard
its kind of hard to do that in your just make a picture and put the centerline of the wheel and where the hub is. offset is the distance of the wheel hub from the centerline like tyson just pointed out
