wheels/spacing

Is anyone in the sj area good with measuring up for back spacing and offset? I am looking into getting torque thrust 2's for the 86 and because of my rear being out of an 02 i am going to need an offset but i would also like the widest tire possible for the rear and something similer to the width of a iroc wheel upfront,and the maximum diameter that i am willing to go to is 17inch, thanks in advance.

there are articles on TGO about offsets and tire sizes for thirdgens.

also, TT2's = played the f#@* out, please consider other options

I found out what size i need for the rears i know that stock iroc wheels are 4.5 backspacing in the front and the wheels im looking at only come in 4 or 4.75 backspacing which one would i be better off with? thanks in advance.

I think you will have to get the rears as if you were fitting them onto a 4th gen, since you have the 4th gen rear in the car.

I would also vote for looking around more for another wheel before you get the TT2s. They aren't bad looking wheels, but they are on every other F-Body I see....
