again, letting my ignorance show, but I am ignorant when it comes to some of the terms and dimensions listed in some of the threads concerning backspace and offset in regards to wheels for Opel GTs. I am watching a set of wheels on e-bay that say they have a 35mm offset, 5 3/8" backspacing, and...
I'm looking at 14" alloy wheels from a 1991 jetta for my 1971 kadett. The bolt pattern is 4x100 but i'm not sure of the offset. Can anyone tell me if these will fit? Will i have clearance or fender issues to deal with? I'd like to upgrade to 14" because there are more tire options available that...
I bought some chromed 15x7 4-bolt rims a while back for my 73' GT.. and now after learning a bit more, I'm concerned about 1. The rims sticking out the sides too far, and 2. Not being able to turn as sharp and possibly some rubbing on the wheel well? Both my fronts and rears are 15x7. Please, any...

I was thinking about putting a set of restored stock 1975 rims on my GT but realized when I compared them to a rusty GT rim that the 1975 stock rims have 3/4" more back space then the stock GT rim. Questions 1) Won't I be narrowing the width of my tire track by 1 1/2 inches therefore make...
