Yeah that sounds right. This is probably the only off the shelf cast wheel I'd run (since it's hubcentric on the G1). When I get around to building the suspension to match my engine (and need the additional offset to clear it) I'll probably have to go this route if I don't want to pop the money for a real set of forged beadlocks (Weld or Raceline).
Also, I'm sure you guys all know this, but if you're concerned about rotational weight also be very careful about tire selection. There's a tire weight thread somewhere over on the Gen 1 forum. Think it's a sticky.
Hey so relatively newbie question. As I consider offset and wheel size, being thoughtful to how close the tire is to the inside of the fender and how far out the wheel will extend (paint chipping and impact to fender at full compression primary concerns.) where does backspacing come into play...? I see backspacing from 4.75 to 5.5" depending on wheel, 17 or 18" etc. I'm shopping for either a 17 or 18 wheel but not sure as I try to stay close to stock (offset no less than +0)
Should I exclude any wheels with backspacing outside a range of x and y...?
