Title: Lend me an 8-spoke EMI?
Post by: jason_hamilton on February 26, 2012, 05:57:42 PM

Hi all.
I'm looking to borrow a 5.5 4x130 8-spoke EMPI mounted with a 195 or 205 tire to test fit the clearance on my Karmann Ghia. Need one with a four-inch backspace.
Case of beer in it for you.

Jason are you looking at buying the new GT-8 (EMPI) 8 spokes or the original type?  The new ones are listed as a 4 3/8" back spacing.  I don't know what the earlier versions are.

I'm looking at (CIP's) C32-E28B, which apparently has a 4-inch backspace, but I'd consider any alternative that fits properly.
