Backspacing is the distance from the surface of where the rim meets the rotor (or drum) to the lip of the rim on the back (the side you can't see when the wheel is mounted. Look here: http://www.skulte.com/offset.gif

If the backspacing of your rims isn't 5.25 as mentioned you need to get spacers. to increase it to that amount.

look at my other posting on wheel spacers, there a company AIM that has them for dirt cheap. try 2 inch spacers for 59 bucks....and they can make any sized spacer you want just call them.
