If there was only more entries it would be extremely valuable info. Is there another similar site? If not, enter your combo!

Yeah, and much respect for the work gone into that but I personally like the layout, sortability and images on the other one.

I try not to get into pissing contests over these things......however....

Mines' got pictures Just not a lot of people send them with their submission.
Mine is also manually 'reality' checked and I weed out incomplete data....like not providing the backspacing on your wheels when you tell me you are running 15x7 with 235 50 15 on the front with no rubbing for instance or saying you run a 315 40 18 in the back of an all stock 65 mustang; those submission don't make it onto the charts.
I also have/collect more detailed information. I don't care what brand your wheels are, just the size. I do care what brand your tires are though...because 235 45 17 in one tire is often times VERY differently sized than a 235 45 17 of a different brand.

As long as you find the information you need, regardless of source, its all fine by me.

I also have all this information stored in excel which I have provide the raw data on occasion to people who are really hung up on sorting.

Dodgestang,

I have a new submission for the charts
16x8 (4.5" backspacing) with 245 45 ZR16s that fit completely inside the wheel wells (not even close to sticking out) Even got photos to prove it

Of course the explanation is lengthy, but the setup works...
and I have Opentracker to thank for it.

Send it over

You do know that I run 245 40 17 completely inside the wheels in the front without even a rolled fender right?

Of course I do...
But you got those 17" rims with 4.75" of backspacing.
I had to do it with 16" rims and only 4.5" backspacing, a much more difficult task.

Does anyone have any data captured on which newer OEM Ford/Chrysler rims actaully came with the correct bolt spacing and size/backspacings that are referenced on these charts? You know for us cheapscapes that would like to upgrade but cannot afford new rims and tires but have lots of local salvage yards with piles of OEM rims.
