I have some rims that I know of that are 17" 5-127 with a backspacing of 5.70 - Im wondering if they will fit


Stock backspacing is 4.5 - correct?

If they are about 9-9.5" inches wide.

Why is that? Other than thats the width of the stick tires on a RM?

Because if they're 9 or 9.5" wide, and the backspacing is 5.5", it puts the mounting face of the rim in a spot where it should clear the drum brake and not have any issues with the fender lip.

Stock wagon wheels are 7" wide, by the way.

This is a lot harder that I thought! Smile

So geeze - I guess I will have to check the tires.

What if they are smaller than 9"?

I will defer to the experts. My wheel fitment knowledge is minimum at best.


To give you a LEGITIMATE answer, you would have to provide at least the following:

Diameter
Width
Bolt Pattern
Backspacing
Offset (sometimes listed as "ET")

Ok - I will find out tomorrow and post it.

Thanks so much!

I'm running 15x8 with 4 in backspace and they are TIGHT but fit. Hard corners and they rub the skirt lip. Alot of guys roll the lip up.

Now the stock SS rims are 17x8.5 but I don't know the backspace but they have plenty of room between the lip and the tire. I've seen guys run 9 in wide rims on a wagon as well.

the 15x8s have a ton of room behind them. so if that is 5.7 in back space and 9 inches or less width I would say you are good to go...

Basically, through my empirical study 4 inches of 'frontspace' and you are REALLY tight.
