Hi guys, I have a set of 4 stud wide 14" rims, rears are 10" wide and fronts are 7" wide, Both have 120mm back spacing, They have tyres on them but they are pretty shot. I was planning to use the rears on my drag car project but i have now realised there is no way i'm going to get 10" wide rims under the rear of the car and 14 x 8" slicks are pretty hard to come by, I am interested in trading this whole set of 14" rims for either 2X 15X6 or 2X 15X8 4 stud rims with roughly the same backspacing.

PM or leave a message on here.

Ok guys, I have re-measured and have some photos of the wheels... I first thought they were 10" wide but i may have been wrong, you tell me... they are 14" vw beetle,karmann,type 3 wheels. 4x130.

I have measured the outside of the rim from the outer edge of the rim to the lug hole in the centre and the same from the back.
Rears: backspacing- 110mm
outside-115mm

fronts: backspacing-100mm
outside-70mm

I am not 100% sure on actuall rim width as i don't know where to measure it from?? but i guess if you add up these measurements you have, give or take:

9" rears
7" front
