Wheel Sizing

[sixty9santa]

Couple of things to know about wheels and sizing:

1-Offset is the distance in millimeters between the mounting pad and the centerline of the wheel. This may be negative or positive (for our intents and purposes, we mainly need a negative offset unless using spacers). Putting this in other words, how much is the mounting pad is off center form the the centerline of the wheel when looked at from the wheels profile (width wise).

2-Backspacing is the distance between the back of the flange and the mounting pad (where hub attaches)

Oh before I forget, I plan on getting Mickey Thompson Classic II wheels in 15x8 for the front and 15x10 for the rear.
Backspacing is respectfully 3 5/16" for the 15x8's and 3 5/8" for the 15x10's with a 5-4 1/2" bolt circle.
Shouldn't need spacers using these and the wheels would wear Firestone Firehawk Indy 500's, P255/60R15 for the front and P295/50R15 for the rear.

BTW - welcome to the forums. Let me know if you need help.

I do encourage you to post in the top forums to tell us about you and your Granada. AND, if you have not done so already, I run the Registry site and would love to add yours.

Well, after giving myself waaaaaaaaaaay too many headaches and sleepless nights, I settled on these:

Rims are factory 2005-08 Mustang GT 17"x8" with stock Pirelli P-Zero Nero rubber P235/55ZR17.
I'll be putting on some P245/50ZR17's General Tire Exclaim UHP's on them next spring, naturally after these have been given a decent burning!
I also need to get 2 pairs of 2" wheel adapters.
