back spacing

What is the bolt pattern and back spacing for L rims?

I see now that American has Torque Thrust wheels (dark spokes) in 18x8.

Thanks
Don

Hole pattern is 5 on 135. Don't know about the back spacing
I like the wheel you are talking about. Let me know if you buy
them, then you can tell me how much $$, and so on.
Good luck

Marc

Stock wheels are 18x9.5 and the backspacing is 5.80.

Here's the url with available sizes. I don't know much about wheel bolt circle sizes or back spacing, so take a look and see. Might need the 600.00 custom size. I hope they have one. They didn't even have it in 18-inch last time I checked.

These are the ones I like. Like polished Torque Thrusts too but prefer gray. The second ones are A200s and I had them before. Like them.

I just sent them an email asking about availability.

For what it is worth, you can even go another 1"-1.5" on the backspacing. You will need to tie back the brake cable.

I'll do what it takes. I like the retro styling-Cragar SS, Drag Stars etc.

You can always get them widened if you find the right diameter and bolt pattern. Try James at Weldcraft 734.420.2211

According to Wheels for Less, American does not offer the Torque Thrust(gray spoke) or A200s for the L.
