OK so I found a VERY good deal on some new rims, they are 17 X 8.5 with a 25mm offset. Based on Ted's (BTW - Thanks Ted) website, I will need a backspace of of .1595?

Will they fit? I don't know nothing about wheels, but 25MM sounds kind of low!

Any help will be apreciated, since I am already in love with these rims!

 

Never mind, they said it won't fit!

 

I think it would be really close

cuase if you do the math
wheels you want
((8.5*25.4)/2)+25)=132.92
stock wheels
((7*25.4)/2)+40)=128.9

that a diff of 4mm or .15 of and inch

looks to me that it might work
anyone else know chime in

 

can you take your car up there and do a test fitting?

 

Thanks for the response! I did the calculations myself before I saked the question. It seems that they will fit, but I wasn't sure. I saw the rims on a website, to bad they are in the west coast, in any case I called them and they said that those sizes are for "Mustangs" vehicles..........................

Thanks,

Elio

 

Got any pix?
