15" rim
15X8 with 4 1/2 inch backspacing front, 5 1/8 backspacing rear. Use tires with an aspect ratio of 55 or less with a section width of 255.
16" rim
16X8 with 4 1/2 inch backspacing front, 5 1/8 backspacing rear. Use tires with an aspect ratio of 55 or less with a section width of 255.
17" rim
17X9 with 5 1/2 inch backspacing front and rear. Use tires with an aspect ratio of 40 or less with section widths of 255 front, 275 rear.
18" (getto) rim

they are 5 x 4.75" and all 5 lugs are far from the same, there's probably 10 different sizes.
