Determining backspace??? I don't have the wheels but I know the width and offset so...is this right???
10" wheel(254mm) with 24mm offset. Divide 254/2=127 then add the offset which 127+24=151mm which gives me roughly 6"s of backspace.
Anybody know if this wheel will fit??? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

Re: Determining backspace??? I think your calculations are correct. 11-inch wheels usually require a backspacing (bs) of 7.75 inches to fit right. A 10-inch wheel with 6.75 should look about the same as an 11 with the bs listed above. A bs of ~6 would most likely have the wheel sticking a good bit out of the wheel well. My guess would be around 3/4 of an inch (6.75-6=.75). I have 18x10's with a bs of 7.25. They are not on the car yet, but they look like they will fit perfectly.
