>I am looking at a set of wheels but am unsure of their fitment. I have
a 1970 1600 that is all stock. I am looking at a wheel that has the
dimensions of 14X6.5 +12.7 and 3.5 backspacing. Might these fit? Of
course they are 4X4.5 thanks Alp
>From the specs "14X6.5 +12.7", they fit perfect. The "3.5" backspacing
throws me off. I guess I don't understand how the measure it. From my
calcs, a 12.7 offset would have 4.25" between the hub mounting face and
the outside of the inside lip. In the reverse, a 3.5 backpace on a 6.5
rim would have a -6.3 offset, which would not fit a roadster.
6.5 = 7.5 overall
7.5 * 25.4 = 190.5 mm
190.5/2 = 95.25 centerline
95.25 + 12.5 = 107.75
107.75/25.4 = 4.25" backspace
