Wheels and specs

[Flatliner]

Let's break this down...

16x8.5 (5x4.5/4.75)
Backspace 5.5"

16" diameter
8.5" width
5 bolt
4.5" pattern

What is the 4.75 here? Does that mean it could fit both 4.5 and 4.75?

Yes.

So there is basically a 1/4 variance in the bolt circle pattern... ???

Or does that mean that they offer two options...
Option 1- 5x4.5
Option 2- 5x4.75

It could mean they offer them in 2 different styles. However, some rims are drilled to accomodate both on the same rim (more than 5 holes drilled).

PURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRFECT!

I had seen the welds with multiple holes and then the plastic inserts, so those would be interchangeable...

I may have a new set of rims for my ET Streets... MAYBE. I sketched some specs and think I may have found some compatible 16x8's, just waiting for the specs on them. I am a little giddy, but shouldn't get my hopes up I guess.
