Another Wheel ? Post
OK, from all I have read in my searches I think I have an idea of what I can run on my car and want to make sure.
I am swapping in a 4th gen rear with factory disks. Front brakes are currently stock but will be upgraded later.
I want to run 17's
Front wheels
17x9 4.5" backspace
Rear wheels
17x10 50mm backspace
Am I correct on those sizes?

Re: Another Wheel ? Post
After thinking about this some more,
3rd gen rear wheel = 16mm neg offset
4th gen rear wheel = 50mm pos offset
That is a move of just over 2.5", I thought the 4th gen rear was only 1.5" difference on each side, so should I assume it will still be off about an inch from stock location?
