    Size on tire width.

    I have a set of wheels im trying to sell. I was curious if they would fit on an fbody specificly a 4th gen. I know the fronts will but i am unsure on the rears, im hoping someone can help me. The rim is 20x10.5 and they have a 305/25/20 tire on them. The backspacing is 65. If the will not fit could anyone tell me what size spacer i would need to make them fit. Im not going to post them in the forsale section or anything because i hate when newbs come to my forums for that reason. Im just looking for information. Thanks

      Give OE Wheels a call - they should know the backspacing to be sure.

      The 305 wheel should fit no problems but it's the backspacing that will really make the determination on fitment. I vaguely remember ~60 backspacing being the right number but it's been a few years since I bought my rims.

      Edit: Looks like I was wrong, here's two good posts:

        Probably not...4th gens have a 54 mm backspacing stock...so I think you'd need a 10 mm spacer and probably the bfh mod...but it's close...

        And you'll want to check the length of your lugs to see if a spacer and be put on and still have sufficient thread engagement.
