Are they even the right bolt pattern

 

yes they are just the center piece on the tenzo-r rims are just not big enough.

 

How far off are they? What is the backspacing on those wheels?

 

they are really that far off except that when i tried puting in the rim in the center piece just wasnt wide enough....just wondering if theirs anything i could do to make them fit, if not then its not much of a big deal.

 

"really that far off" doesn't answer my question & we cannot help you find solutions with answers that answer nothing. Measure both & tell us.

 

its approx .25" off

 

OK. Depending on how much material there is in those center hubs, that means it needs to be opened up about .127/.130 (if is is .250) all the way around. A little over 1/8". Bit of work to do with just a Dremel & not throw off the balance. A machine shop could easily do it for you. Question is would they & likely not to give you any guarantee of safety of the wheel due to legal repercussions if it failed, broke & caused a wreck.

 

hmmm...you got a point ima provable just leave it the way they are then...why mess around with my safety just to look coll you know...thank for the help

and random question are you fairly knowledgeable about carbs...because i posted a new thread regarding a carburetor question..

Opening up the hub to fit a BMW is much the same way, but it is so minimal that you can do it with a rat tail file & a few minutes of "work". Nothing compared to taking off a 1/8" of material from the hole.

Sorry. I know virtually nothing about carbs. Haven't messed with them since I was 17 on my old '68 Camaro.

You can start a thread over in the Engine (or whatever the Forum title is) section to find people that know about carbs.

 

if the hub on the wheel needs to be opened up, you have to take it to a machine shop to have that done properly. You also need to be aware that if you take enough meat out of the center of the wheel, that will weaken it and they could come apart one you, and thats bad.
