I'm starting to wonder, is American Racing measuring the back spacing differently?

I guess you could possibly measure that 2 different ways, but the method I've always been taught is from the outer most portion of the wheel lip, which is 4.25" on a 15x7 rally. However if I measure it from the bead set I'm almost at 3.75" maybe slightly more.....but close.

Also does the inside of that wheel have a mild outer lip that I can attach aluminum style snap on wheel weights? ( I don't generally like doing stick ons)

Sorry for the questions.


Yes I can put my fingers between the inner lip and sidewall. Enough room for the tires to travel up and down without rubbing. These are 15x7 wheels and I took off 15X8's and its noticeably different. I do not foresee any issues with 215/65 on the front since I am running that size now. Or at least I sure hope not.

The inner lip does have a place for weights but I asked for the sticker ones.
