ok I think I've got it. I dont really know what backspacing is, But since this is a tech site, who better to ask then fellow owners???
So heres a pic of one rim, You lay a straight edge along the rim and measure up? From the part of the rim that faces the street, or the part of the rim that goes back into the wheel well.. Also what kind of Backspacing is normal to our cars.
I really am stupid on this kinda thing, So maybe someone can explain it to me in idiot terms???
EDIT: I found this site, its pretty good, and uses our cars for examples
