      Size Offset(mm) Offset(in.) +/- Backspace(mm) Backspace(in.) 
Weight(LB.) Price(US)
           15"x6" 3 .08 + 91 3.58 18.9 $162.81


I think the stock rims were 3.5" backspace. The Superlite website listed the 
above info for 3.58" b/s being a +3MM offset. That's pretty close. I seem to 
remember Panasports coming in a +8 MM. @ 3.75" b/s. They fit most TR's. The 
offset numbers are relative to the wheel width, i.e. a 3.5" b/s would not 
have the same offset on a 6" and a 6.5" rim.
Check out these websites for more details:
