[DeTomaso] 17-inch wheel back spacing

[shawkins777 at comcast.net]

David, 

Thanks for mentioning scrub radios because if you push the wheel to the outside it can really make the car push in turns.

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 

Dave
