86 SWB Wheels and tires questions!
« on: April 13, 2011, 03:36:04 pm »
I've settled on getting these for the back: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CRR-3975150SPEC/ and these for the front: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CRR-3975850/

Questions! Will the 10 inchers fit on the back without a spacer? And is the backspacing 5 inches? I can measure I just don't have the right tool.

The note on the summit site says "requires custom offset information to order." for the back.
5" Backspacing will work with 10" wheels though.

Thanks. I meant to ask if the 5 inch backspacing will clear my rear drums.

Backspacing wont matter concerning the drums, the inside diameter would.

Okay, thank you! I have 15's on it now. Another dumb question, but I might as well ask while I'm here. The lug pattern is 5x5, right? I'm pretty sure that's what my manual said, but I left it at the shop.

5 on 5 is correct.
