Specs for 6-lug wheels?


Recommended Posts

I'm running some pretty wide 15" 6-lug wheels I got from Summit. I'm looking into a rallyx setup with 14" rally tires and wheels.

 

I was thinking about going to Les Schwab and asking for steelies in the right specs. Assuming, I guess, a 14"x6" wheel, what kind of backspacing/offset would I need to get? I want to make sure they're tucked in under the fender a bit more than my current 15" wheels.

 

Thanks.

P.S. I searched, but I couldn't find numbers. Les Schwab will want numbers, because they sure as hell won't have anything in the computer for a 6-lugged Brat:)

You'll want the highest backspacing you can get your hands on. You probably don't want to go over 4" backspacing, but that probably won't be an option with a 14" wheel.

 

That's some good advice. 4" backspacing would translate into 1" positive offset on a 14x6 wheel, right? I can't seem to think for myself today...
