You might double check on actual backspacing of those wheels. According to the eBay ad, they have 39mm offset, which is approx. 1.5", which means they should have something like 5" backspacing. You may be able to get away with much much much smaller spacers (like .25").projectstang said:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...tem=7978553145&category=66482&sspagename=WDVW
AWESOME!! Thanks 65fastback. I've been hoping there was some way to make these work. These are the wheels that will be going on...just to make sure, these should be compatible with spacing, etc. right?? thanks again for the link!
projectstang said:Let me just make sure I'm doing this right...do I measure the backspacing of the new wheels and subtract the backspacing of the current wheels to find the width of the adapters I need...if so, it looks like I'd need about a 2" adapter. I was hoping it'd be smaller than that. Is this right??
The only proper way to know what backspacing your car needs (and therefor how thick the adapter needs to be) is to do the proper measuring procedure and not to compare the wheels. It's not complicated, but it is complex. There have been numerous articles written on measuring for wheel backspacing over the years, like this article from Car Craft: http://www.carcraft.com/techarticles/3636/projectstang said:Let me just make sure I'm doing this right...do I measure the backspacing of the new wheels and subtract the backspacing of the current wheels to find the width of the adapters I need...if so, it looks like I'd need about a 2" adapter.

Good luck.
That's always a good question as semantics can be tough. But for me, "complexity" suggests that something has multiple facets that are all connected and related, while "complicated" implies a sense of unnecessary severity and difficulty, but may or may not be complex in nature.projectstang said:...by the way DarkBuddha, what's the difference between complicated and complex????
