Backspace and Offset for 13 to 14 inch Switch

[mjbarbee516]

I've decided to change out my rims from 13" to 14" because I don't want to spend $175 or more just for a tire or risk buying old, expired stock from questionable online resellers. I can find rims and tires together for less than $120 per wheel.

I've got the economy 68 Plymouth Valiant 100, 170 6cyl. It came with 13" rims and should get 6.50x13 tires or P175/80R13.

Other than width (5.5") and bolt pattern (5x4.5) I don't know much about the rims.

Will these work with whatever Backspace and Offset I need?

I also found I've got a great selection of P185/70R14 tires to choose from and they're only off by 0.2" in overall diameter.

Thanks in advance.

The backspacing on those wheels is too big. A 5.5" wheel should have around 3.75" backspacing. That's what came stock on these cars.

With 6" wheels it should be about 4".

Great.... Now where can I shop wheels without plugging in my car?

My car doesn't exists on most sites.

First, are you sure it has 5 x 4.5" bolt pattern? I always though that year, and with 13" wheels, it would have a 5 x 4" bolt pattern.
