Offset Guru's get in here (NON LSX help) Ok guys my dad gave me a '69 Nova when I was 12 years old (one of those hand it down the family types) and it's in desperate need of new wheels. We've decided to re-build the motor (bigger displacment, H/C, S/C, etc) and I really would like to get a set of Centerline Telstars for it.
My question is what offsets would I need for it? The fronts probably wouldn't be a problem, but the rears I'd either like 15x8 or 15x10.
I'm stuck.
Joe

Well, I could be way off base here. But I believe if you can measure the distance from the end of the axle (drum) to the iner fender and to the outer lip of the quarter panel. Use the math to figure what backspacing or offset each size (8" or 10") wheel would use. Just keep in mind the width of the wheel face itself.
Make sense?
