Re: [Chevelle-list] Wheel size

Craig,

I'm no expert on this, but here goes.

Backspacing: the distance from the mounting surface of the rim, to back lip of the rim.

Your tire, 295/50/R15.

295: this number is how wide the tire is, in millimeters.

50: this is how tall your sidewall is, its a percentage of the first number. So on that tire, the sidewall is 50% of 295.

R15: the rim size.

Hope this helps a little bit
