86-88 SE 4lug backspacing

Hi yall, I've done a bunch of searches, but nowhere could I find backspacing/offset specs for the stock 86-88 SE 4lug rims. Can anyone enlighten me?

Much Thanks,
Derrick

I can't answer your question directly, but the turbo rims have 5.0" of backspacing.&nbsp All the hubs should be similar, so this should be a good guide.

Back spacing

It is 5" I just check last so I could order some Bogart wheels.

What does everybody think of these wheels?

hmmmm, what I'm really concerned with is the appropriate offset for 16x7.5s - 20mm or 35mm? Which would fill the fender well the best?

Depends on the tire...

7.5" wide rim would need a +33mm offset to match the stock rims.&nbsp +35mm would work; +20mm would cause the tire to hit the fenderwell.
