ohh...

- Whats the diffrence between Backspace and Offset? or are they the same thing with different names?

Click to expand...

I now know that I'm going to get (front) 17x7/ 4.25BS and (rear) 17x8/ 4.75BS
*The only thing I don't know is, what is "offset"? and what offset do I need?

if you are ordering a wheel by back spacing that is all you need to know.

offset and backspacing are essentially to different measurements taken on the same wheel.

1. I rolled the fenders a little, could use some more. It doesn't rub at all unless I hit a pretty big bump. There's no rubbing on normal cornering on a decent road. Makes me nervous to try to roll them too much *after* the paint job.

2. Nope, that's my sister Her husband (my brother in law) has a 58 Chevy that he is restoring, so they like to go to the car shows with my wife and I and my parents (rsev216, 65 vert).

Lol, didn't think that was you but she sure looks possesive of that car!

You can use a heat gun to avoid damaging the paint when you finish rolling the fenders. Did you use one of those rolling tools or a bat?

Yeah, that Mustang has been in the family since '93 and has been driven by most of my sisters at one time or another. I bought it from my Dad in about '98 or so and started restoring it in 2002.

Unfortunately, I used a technique that the body shop guy told me to do and I didn't do it right and put a few ripples in the passenger side fender lip

He said to slowly pinch it with vice grips after protecting the paint with several layers of tape. I think I pinched too much at a time.

Thanks for the heat gun tip, if I get a rolling tool and save up my courage I might give it another try...but it doesn't rub enough for me to worry about it and when it does rub it doesn't hurt the tire at all, doesn't even leave a mark.
