People throw tire and wheel sizes around but they usually dont show offset.
Does anyone know where I can find a dependable chart. |

Scott_In_NH came over today and we worked on my tire rub issue.
The conclusion is that the tire/wheel package I purchased off the internet has VW Back Space. The Wheels are Empi GT-8's and it looks like they are only made in 15 X 5 1/2 and they have a 30MM Offset and spec a 4 3/8 back space. The tires are Goodyear 195/60/R15's We tried Scotts Mahle 5 1/2 J X 15 with an offset of 40mm. He is running 195/65/R15's and with that combo I literally added 1/2 and inch space to the fender. Looks like Back Space is my friend and I will be doing a new wheel/tire package which is what I wanted to do but now there will be no guessing. Thanks Once again Scott! |
