who is right

talk to a tech at summit about the vision gold 15x8 wheels im planning to order. was told the wheel i need has a 4.00 backspace.

i call extreme custom pricing the same wheel and they said i needed a wheel with a 4.03 backspace. i did ask both for a wheel that fit 87 salon, vs cutlass supreme as suggested by another member on this site. the offset was the same-12mm on both. so ???? does .03 make a big difference. which one is the best fit. also my goal is to go with 15x7 on the front so if there is any suggestion on the offset and backspace i will need would be helpful

You're fine, don't worry about .003

My gold Visions are 17X8 with 4.5 backspace and 0 offset. On my Elco. I don’t understand why a 15X8 would be different

I only see 1 listing for a gold 15 x 8 and it has -12mm offset with 4" BS.
Since 12 mm is .472 the wheel would actually have approx. 4.03 BS, either way not enough be a fitment issue.

how will a -12mm offset affect the way it fits. oppose to a 0 offset
It's going to push the wheel out towards the fender/quarter panel nearly 1/2" which might be an issue with a Cutlass depending on tire size.
