I am looking for the stock backs spacing and offset for the hard body trucks. or anyone here who has aftermarket wheels and knows those on the rims they have. I found a set of wheels and have the specs on them and want to compare so i can tell if they will fit under the fenders. thanks By the way 15x7 hub bore is 108mm backspacing is 3 3/4 inches and offset is -6 mm

If you have your owner's manual, it'll be in there. If not, the earliest one available on http://www.nissantechinfo.com is for the 1996 model.

Thanks, looks like they fit under the fenders. What size tires are you running? Looking at the tire 1 plus sizing to keep my over all diameter the same looks like a 225 65 x15 is in order for me. If possible I would like to go with wider tire though.

you don't really want to go with much wider of a tire on a 7" wide wheel.... for performance 225 is a good number... for daily use you might be able to get away with a 235.... DEFINITELY wouldn't go over 245

the tires i have are BFGoodrich G-Force Sports... 225/50/15... they're shorter than stock for sure but i like it for the extra gearing

now that i'm getting a set just for the track, i'll switch my street ones back to 225/60/15

Thanks that is all good info. yeah I am sure the 225 will be fine once it is on a 7 inch wheel.
