Tom I can answer part of it. The J stands for the type and height of the lip
on the wheel.
I'm afraid that all I know.... can't decode the J and H difference.  I got
my explanation from the Tirerack guys.

        Listerati,

        Does anyone know what the significance of the
letters used in wheel designations is? For example, stock
TR250 wheels are stamped "4 1/2 J X15H". The manuals
list TR6 steel wheels as "5 1/2 J", but wires as "5 1/2 K".
What do the letters mean?

        On a related note, does anyone have the offset
of 5 1/2" Panasports or 5 1/2" K & N wheels handy? The
offset of my stock TR250 wheels seems to be 3/4" positive,
and I'd like to preserve that in the replacements.
