I think the stock rims were 3.5" backspace. The Superlite website listed the
above info for 3.58" b/s being a +3MM offset. That's pretty close. I seem to
remember Panasports coming in a +8 MM. @ 3.75" b/s. They fit most TR's. The
offset numbers are relative to the wheel width, i.e. a 3.5" b/s would not
have the same offset on a 6" and a 6.5" rim.
