Selecting wheels and tires is a crucial element when it comes to styling your
ride as every pro builder will tell you, there's nothing more important than
the car's stance and attitude.
If you're going to run wheels and tires that are the same size as stock, then
the choice is simple. But if you're going to upsize the combination, there are a
couple things to keep in mind when measuring for the right sizes.
There are a few terms that apply to wheel size, the main ones are width,
diameter and bolt pattern, and then there's backspace and offset. Diameter is
the overall diameter of the wheel, and width refers to the width of the wheel.
The bolt pattern is the number of bolts and the measurement of the bolt circle.
Ford cars from the 1960s usually run a 5 hole, 4.5 bolt circle, where GM used
a 4 ˚ bolt circle on intermediates and a 5 inch circle on full size cars. You
can check it with a bolt circle gauge, or you can measure across the bolt holes
to determine your size. Just measure from the edge of one bolt hole, SKIP A
HOLE, and go to the CENTER of the next hole.
The next size measurement is the backspace. This is the distance of the wheel
face to the backside edge of the wheel. This measurement is crucial because it
determines the clearance of the wheel in the well and the amount of the wheel
sticking out of the well. You can measure a wheel by running a straight edge
across the rim bead and dropping another straight edge down to the wheel face
and measure that distance.
Offset refers to the amount of wheel behind the face and the amount of wheel in
front of the face. A positive offset puts the face towards the outside of the
wheel, a negative offset has a deeper dished look. Zero offset is centered in
the rim.
