Default Update...

Guys.....I did a little AutoCAD'ing at work today (don't tell anyone) and made a diagram of some wheel widths and backspacing. I was wrong in my first post on how I explained it....and drawing it out made me realize it. I'll post the pic below. It shows the relationships between 15x10's and 15x9.5's with various backspacing measurements. The wheel is represented by a square of course....the vertical line in the middle represents the inside mounting face of the wheel flange. By lining these different drawings up in line with each other, you can see how the backspacing and widths change the positioning of the wheel.
