I have the opportunity to get a set of Carrol Shelby 8-spoke wheels
(Minilite-style, with polished rim). I like the look of these quite a bit
more than the curerently available Panasport, Compomotive, and even
Minilite wheels.
My problem is that these particular wheels were previously on a Saab, and I
believe the backspace is way too high. Would I be crazy to try to get
spacers fit (I think they'd have to be 3/4" or so) and use longer studs?
Is there a remotely affordable way to have the centers redone? Anybody
have a set with the proper backspacing that they'd be willing to trade even
up? %-)
Specs on the Carrol Shelby Wheels
Size: 5 1/2 J X 15H2
Backspace: 4 3/4"
