I'm trying to order steel rims for my car and they are asking for my backspacing.

Anyone know what the backspacing is for factory rims on a 1995 GST is?

 

i dont know, but may i ask why you want steel rims?? they are soo heavy you would get no gain and i think they are ugly..

 

I dented two of my rims... and don't have enough money to get a full set of replacements, so thought I'd just replace them temporarily with steel rims..

anyone happen to know it offhand? its like 10 degrees outside... and i'm trying avoid having to take off my wheel to measure.

 

offset is +46mm

 

is that the same as backspacing?

i'm pretty sure its the same thing. Offset is the reference from the hub mounting point to the center line of the rim. The offset effects the way the wheel fits in the wheel well and whether or not it will rub on the suspension or fender.
