Stock Wheel Specifications
Discussion
Hello All!
A colleague has purchased a wheel manufacturing company and is now asking all types of questions about our stock wheels, which I can’t answer. Search isn’t too much help on this topic, although I believe this has been covered in multiple threads on multiple occasions.
Might this be a good sticky?
Does anyone know the full specifications of our wheels? We should gather information such as material composition (6061-T651 or 2024-T351?), weight, hole pattern, center hole size, back spacing, lug nut spec, stud spec, number of assembly bolts and specs, etc…
If we can gather the data, I will do the compilation and make a CAD drawing with a spec sheet containing all of the information to post for those who may wish to order some to their liking.

Rear Rim specific;
Rim width; 13 inch
Backspace to inner flange; 8.25 inch
Backspace to outer rim edge; 8.75 inch
Offset; 3.25 inch
Center hub mating face to wheel spoke depth (Caliper clearance); 0.9 inch
Front Rim Specific;
Rim Width; 8.5 inch
Backspace to inner flange; 4.75 inch
Backspace to outer rim edge; 5.25 inch
Offset; 1 inch
Center mating face to wheel spoke depth (Caliper clearance); 0.45 inch
I would recommend some else check the front Offset's as when I measured the factory rims there was no offset on the front same dim to outer as inner rim from mounting face, and that's the offsets I used when i ordered my Image rims. If I had any more offset to the outside I would have rubbed the wheel arch all the time.... SO please some check that....

This is a great reference. Crafty called it. Between RussF's link and Clive's info, there's our sticky on wheels. We need to add the stud and nut info, wheel weights - front and rear, and materials. Who's the sticky manager these days?

That is indeed a good idea. It was only a short while ago that this question was asked AGAIN...
Agreed. Crafty has been known to have a good idea every so often.Steve_D said:
Does he produce or have a source for a stainless steel version of the factory wheel nut?
He produces...full CNC shop. Let me see what I can find out, Steve, and I will post back on a new thread - Stainless Lug Nuts. He's traveling 'til Tuesday, or so. Running his drag car to 316 mph in 4.59 seconds in the quarter.Gulf -LS2 said:

Hey, Kyle. It's a long story. Closed a business, got hired, layed off, hired again. I had lots of time to find a job, but no extra funds. Now, I have no time AND no extra funds. Anyone hiring? I could use a couple of extra jobs!-- Scott

Scott,
I originally posted the wheel dims and I'll check the measurements once more. I have a spare set of factory rims sat here that will have slicks mounted mid next week, but if your guy is local Reno he can borrow a front & rear for a couple days to take all measurements for himself.
