here's my first look at the rear.
the math i did for the backspace was ok but the actual fit with the offset built into
the rim was too much. i am replacing the 1.5" adapter with a 1" adapter. that should put me right at the frame.
- old lug style compared to new lug style. no bulge.
- adapter
- adapter on axle
- backspace measured at frame
- mounted rim
- extending out too far

that will be it for now. we have three days of snow forecast for next week. i've got to cover everything up.
thank you gbody forum for helping me with the incentive to do the necessary work on the car and to post my data to this thread.

The wheels fit well. The style and tire sizes... I'd pass on.

The car in white with the 2+2 nose is a pretty awesome combo.
