back spacing issue.

[El_CUCUY]

I was wondering how a wheel with a 5.95 back space would fit on my car if I did the 5 lug conversion.
I was looking to get either the steeda ultra lites that have a 28 mm offset or the ultra lite 2 that have a 32mm offset.
I will be using 94 spindles and ranger axles to start off with so if anyone can help and tell me what would look better as far as fitment I would be most greatfull.

thank you in advance,
Benny

What year car do you have?[/QUOTE

89 lx hatch back and i currently have 17/9 on the car. I have no issue, but they are 4 lug and i've had these wheels for such a long time that i have no idea what the back spacing and offset is. I still want to run 17/9 for the car i just need to know which of the two would look better.

definately use the 5.95 backspace wheels. I run the 17x9 cobra R's all around on my 93 with ranger axles out back. You could use the bigger backspacing on the rear if you were to switch to the sn-95 rear axles, but then you wouldn't have the same wheel in the front and back.

Bith wheels offer the same backspace but they offer diff offsets. Do you know if the 28mm offset would be any diff than the 32 mm offset and if so which do you have or which would look better.
So you live in the RGV i live in la feria.
