I'll get actual offset/backspace numbers for you when I get a chance Bill but those should be close for now.

Please post them to this thread. I would like to know. I also want your feed back once they are installed and operating as to inner or outter rubbing and any noticable difference in performance and/or handling. Thanks, Gary.

Do you think 888s or RA1s could be mounted to those rims? Especially the rears regarding max width of the Toyos?

I agree. Both the front and rear look "outboard" to me. Some fender massaging may be required.

Nope, optical illusion Chris, they are a perfect fit. The backspace is 5 1/2". Double checked the weight at Dan J's shop 2 hours ago... 14.0LB. We actually compared it to a 15" BBS that was there. BBS is a full 1/2" less backspace which is why they hit on the outside. The BBS weight is substantially more..

No tires yet, think i'll load it in the trailer on bare rims so I can get the freshest possible tires put on 30 minutes before Limerock's 1st practice! Funny how I was using 2-3 year old cast-offs last year (one even said "Foster" on the inside!)...

They were the BBS wheels Bela has, identical to yours.

Frickin Bela Gary, you'll enjoy the feel of fresh rubber.

I was referring to the measurement #s, the o/s calculated using the measures is a bit off the factory o/s, assuming that 12.7 and 25.4 are the correct o/s, which they may not be as Gary stated that they were ccw not Jongblood #s

LOL! I ran the 2nd and 3rd sprints at SP on cast off tires from Bela's car.

I think, if I figure right, the offset on the 9"X15" JB's (overall width of 9 7/8") are 14.2875mm and the 8x15" (8 7/8") are 26.9875mm... but I could be wrong. Of course the backspace was measured using an old tape measure and a scrap piece of steel...

I get ET26.9875 & ET14.2875, so we are in agreement based on the measurements you provided
