What width are they?  Wheel width affects offset.  A 40mm 7" wheel sits
differently than a 40mm 6" wheel.  Offset blows.  Backspacing works, but
backspacing only tells you if the wheel will clear the strut - a 5.5" wheel
with 5" backspacing will sit WAY under the car.  Wheelsize would help for
those who know what works in terms of offset......


I.Mannix(backspacing.  Much easier:)
