Backspacing, offsets and my car...

Kay, I figure since the eagle alloy style #203 16x8's I'm getting are 8'' wide with no backspacing, they would be 4'' backspacing each. Online, however, it says that 0mm offsets have 4.5'' backspacing, what the heck?! I know the stock wheel dimensions are 16x8's with 0mm in the fronts and 16mm in the backs. I'm planning to just run a good compromise number set of all four, the back will be 5/8'' wider on each side, shouldn't be too bad. Does anyone have the stock BACKSPACING measurements? Thanks, Brian.

The stock backspacing for our cars is 5" for the rear wheels and 4" in the front wheels, I think this is the info you wanted, I am not sure. Also, 4" backspacing at the rear wheels will work fine, thats what I have.

Just found and re-read my carcraft march 2000. Weld posted some widest rims for your car stats and they said 4.5'' in the front and 5,1/8'' in the back. Have some Eagle Alloy style #203's coming tomorrow or day after. Going to run 4.5'' in the front and 5'' in the back, that means 0mm offsets front and 13mm positive offsets in back. lil less than stock, but it's okay.
