Anyone know the correct backspacing for e-30 wheels? how about interchange, Mustang has the same 4 x 100 pattern I believe.

The 14x6.5" BBS Basketweaves have 5" of backspace,
and the 6" Bottlecaps have a little less than 5".
I have 15x7 Koseis with 5-1/16" of backspace,
and my 15x7.5 Ronals have 5-3/16" backspace and
all of em clear the struts sufficiently.

Dunno if the Mustang has the same 4x100 bolt circle or not. Check the centerbore dimension
too - the BMW hub is 57mm and the wheel centerbore
is 57.1mm.
