I still need to know what the back spacing is on the R/T17x9 wheels?
Also does anyone know what backspacing is on the 15x8 wheels?
I am considering either centerline 16x8 w/6" backspacing in front and 5.5 bs
in back or American racing 16x8 Scorpion wheels with 4.75" bs, the specs
also say +20 mm, does anyone know what this means?
