your question is too big. What do you want to know. It must be for a specific car or for putting the wheels on something else?

Offset is 42mm for front wheels and 33mm for rear, don't know backspacing but you should be able to calculate based on wheel width which is 8.5" all round.

thanks so much! do you think it would be ok to use the rears on all 4 corners because the offset is nearly the same?

Depends what the something else is. We can't analyse tolerance without knowing the limits.

You need to be aware that the Spider wheels are designed for a light weight application. They are not strong enough to be used on a heavier car (fatigue cracking would result) and their ability to resist impact would be even more sensitive.

Haha! They won't work then because my car is about 1000 lbs heavier than a Sagaris and Cerbera Speed Six so I guess I am SOL. Thanks anyway guys I appreciate the help!
