Offset of American Racing Type 26 Directionals?

[MickeySpiers]

Does anybody have the specs on the old American Racing Directional (I think they were Type 26, could be wrong) rims? The sawblade style. I found a set for sale, but they're on the car (wrecked '91 Explorer) and the owner has no idea of the size or offset. I'm assuming the size that American Racing sold for the Explorers were all one offset, anyone know what that was? Or an easy way to find out on these?

Aren't they AR Outlaw rims? I assume they're 15x7 with a 1" offset just like the other rims.

See if you can take the one rim off and measure the backspacing. I believe stock backspacing is 4-4.25 inches.

The Outlaws have holes around them, look like the stock rims on an early XLT Explorer. These are sawblade style, look like the attached photo. I'll see if I can pull a wheel & do some measuring.

I Think Explorer's Offset Range From 14mm To 35mm To Be Safe. I Have 20 X 8.5 With A 40mm Offset And The Rim Is A Pinky Apart From The Upper A-arm. Before You Buy, Carefuly Read The Specs.
