what size backspacing???

alright i'm thinking of buying the American Racing C 200S rims for my 2000 camaro ss. Just wondering what backspace i need to get to make sure they will with fit. I have the stock brake rotors still on the car if that means anything. Thanks.

Re: what size backspacing???

The recommended backspace depends on the wheel width. What size wheels are you looking at?

I think i'm either gonna go with the 17x9.5 or 17x9. I haven't decided yet.

A backspace in the range of 45mm - 56mm will work. 45mm pushes the wheel/tire edge toward the outside of the fender. 56mm pushes the wheel/tire deeper into the fender. Neither extreme should cause any problems on a stock ride height car.
