Keep in mind, I am OCD... so this kinda thing is normal for me
This goes Size/Backspace/Offset - Mounting point to back - Mounting point to front
15x7 4.50/bs 12mm/os – 4inches from back of wheel – 3inches to front
15x8 4.75/bs 6mm/os – 4.25inches from back of wheel – 3.75inches to front
15x7 3.75/bs -6mm/os – 3.25inches from back of wheel – 3.75inches to front
15x8 3.75/bs -19mm/os – 3.25inches from back of wheel – 4.75inches to front
Did I mess up somewhere with simple math or understanding of backspacing and offset?
Oh, and this is the tech data for some wheels I'm lookin' into... 15x7 in front, 15x8 in back... Just want them to look right together. I know, I know... I'm weird.
