Yea.. low profile to the highest degree.. If I went that route I could run 26'es

I would test fit them but without being under load and close to the fender what's it tell you.. I can't find any reference to Trigo back space of offset variations anywhere..

The website refers to the off set being 3.5".. Nothing about backspacing or any differences between ERA and Contemporary wheels. It would seem like if there were a difference there would be an explanation, what for example do Unique owners do? What about Mid States.. SPF?? Searching the threads I see one member with an early CC that had problems and needed to narrow his track. I suspect that had to do with his track more than it did his wheels.

Is this why they come 7.5 and 9.5" rather than 8 and 10.. Maybe they are standard.. The wheels are drilled for both 4.5 and 4.75 patterns.. (10 holes)
