Also, I would like to know the bolt pattern on the hub. I'm putting aftermarket wheels on it and I need to know how to order. _____________________________ Vince 2003 Eclipse GTS Post #: 1

RE: Backspacing - 8/29/2005 9:03:03 PM    Patrick Posts: 1199 Joined: 3/17/2005 Status: offline yes.. take a rim off, and lay it face down...take a yardstick, or anything strait and long enough to reach both side of the rim...not the tire...you want to create a level plain across the mouth of the rim....the measure from that level plane to the mounting surface of the rim. that is your backspacing. _____________________________ (in reply to vinceaton) Post #: 4

RE: Backspacing - 9/1/2005 7:38:34 PM    vinceaton   Posts: 89 Joined: 5/1/2005 Status: offline The percentage of the offset is determined by the width of the rim, right? _____________________________ Vince 2003 Eclipse GTS (in reply to Patrick) Post #: 7
