Default Wheels pro's inside please.....

I might have a stumper for you guys......

I'm looking at possibly getting some sick@ss wheels from Japan and need to get all of our measurements for backspacing, lug pattern, etc....in metric. When you guys see the wheels you'll understand. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Oh yeah, if you can't get all the measurements in metric, one inch= 25.4mm

Ex. 6.5 inches(x25.4)= 165.1 mm

You're good Weasle. What is the stock backspacing? I don't even know that.....56mm or 5.5".....I got all kinds of different #'s floating around in my head..... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Thanks again buddy. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

I thought the stock numbers were:

Back spacing = 7.00" or 177.8mm
Offsett = 50mm
