Hello, I was wondering what backspacing my 14" magnum 500's have? Was there a set size or were there more offered? The tires on them are 235/60/14 I have had 245's on them before. The reason I am asking is because I am looking to buy some rims and slicks for this years season and I would like to know what size rim I should buy 4" or 4.5"
 
To measure your backspacing lay the wheel face down. Lay a straightedge across the wheel up by the rim on the flat part. Measure down to the surface where the lugnut holes are. That's all there is to it.
 
You also ask about 4" or 4.5". that would depend on what size you have now. can't just buy whatever you know.
