Specs on sizes??
 
Could use some help on sizing new rims....
On a SN95!

Im looking at buying a full set of these
http://static.summitracing.com/globa...-005103545.jpg

1) I was thinking 14"x4" for the front or would it be a better idea to go 15"x4" ?

2) Next is when buying new rims they want to know the bolt pattern in "mm" does anyone know what size it is? 5x4.250", 5x4.500" 5x4.750", etc...

3) What is the back spacing I need for the front and the rear?

4) Then theres the offset?

5) Ok now to the rear what is the largest rear rim width I can go with? I was told 10" but what off set/back spacing do I need to keep in mind?
I also want to keep my quad shocks

I find that this is the hardest thing to buy when buying new....!
I hope I got everything and I hope to see some help...

Thanks everyone.

They probably don't offer them in 14x4", usually the skinnies are only made in 15". Don't think that 14" would clear your front brakes anyway.

Mustang 5 on 4.5" pattern translates to 5 on 114.3 mm in metric.

Backspacing is a fixed number, that is measured from the inside lip of the wheel, to the mounting face. Offset is the distance from the centreline of the wheel, to the mounting face, so the offset number will change with wheel width. A bit of tech on that HERE. On the front you'll probably need around 3" backspacing with 4" wheels, for 10" wheels on the rear, around 6" to 6.5" I believe.

Keith....are you sure you really like them? I suggest you look at them again and give your head a shake! lol If it wasn't for the goofy looking triangles the rest is ok.

So the offset is almost based on fase or rotor to center of rotor (well just off center).

and 5 bolt is 4.500" ?

15's it is...

So am I gonna have to take my rims off and measue them or can I just get lucky and someone can tell me what they are running for welds (sizes)
