[DeTomaso] 17-inch wheel back spacing

[David Nunn]

Mike,

Here are the specs I've given to a bunch of Pantera owners. They've all been
happy.

I've listed BS and offset because it gives the wheel manufacturer some
comfort that you understand exactly what you're telling them to build. Many
people don't really understand how to calculate backspacing (even though
they think they do) so using offset as well is a good idea. Besides, offset
is harder to miscalculate.

Front: 17 x 8 = 5.375" BS (or 22mm offset) I believe the OEM 15x8 Campi's
have 19mm offset, so this shifts the centerline 3mm (1/8") inboard from
stock. It might rub a bit on the inside at full lock but it gets your scrub
radius as close as possible to ideal. 

Rear: 17 x 11 = 6.5" BS (or 13mm offset)

PCD = 5 x 114.3 

CB=62mm
