I am looking at a set of 15 in wheels that have a offset of 35 and a back spacing of 5. What is offset and back spacing? is it how far the wheel will stick out. The wheels are 15 x 6.5 with the offset of 35 plus a back spacing of 5. With these rim fit my 89 s13 coupe comfortably. BTW the bolt pattern for the 4 lug is 4 x 114, right?

Thanks

Check the stickies in the Wheels/Tire forum. Most of your questions are answered in there...

back spacing and offset are 2 ways of expressing the exact same thing.
