you mean backspacing, i would stay close to stock factor whele backspacing, on my 82 t/a i am goint ot find stock factory 82 84 15" turbo cast wheel for it, are vented and slotted for aerodynamics and for proper brake cooling and are super light as a plus, help keep weight of car down alot of plusses for suing stock aluminum wheels i figure ill paint them same color as car, or same as GFX in which i might paint same as car as well humm, or have them all chrome dipped! hmm!

silver blue metallic 23

good luck
