Topic: Wheel Question
in Forum: C3 General Discussion
I’ve been considering changing the wheels on my 82 and need input from this knowledgeable group. I know the backspacing on the stock wheel is 4 inches but I’m having difficulty finding exactly what Im looking for with a 4 inch backspace. I’m considering the wheels in the link below from Summitt but they are 3.75 inch backspace and an offset of -19.00mm. First of all, will these wheels work on our cars? How will that small difference in backspace affect the geometry of the rear suspension and handling? I am not interested in going with a larger tire than the stock 15 inch. I recently bought new tires and don’t plan on buying a new set for quite a while.
