I have the Baer Brakes Track kit installed on my '91 Hatchback and I want to confirm the wheel sizes that I need to order. I'll work out the rear wheel with Team-Z, but on the fronts, I really can't remember a damned thing. I am running Cobra Rs all the way around, which I thought would make it easy to look up, but even given the fact that they're OEM Cobra Rs, not aftermarket, there are still a couple types that have different offset and back spacing. I called Baer, but they couldn't say. I'm guessing I should just go with a 17x8 with a std. 4" backspacing up front.
I know I'm currently running 245/45/17s up front, but I honestly thought it was a 17x8" wheel. I also thought they were OEM Cobra Rs, and it looks like all the OEM wheels are 17x9" with a 5.9x" or 6.4x" back spacing. Maybe that's why I remember them rubbing a bit on the inside in sharp turns.
If anyone has a 5 lug setup without any rubbing issues, please throw me a bone.
Thanks,
Chris
