    yeah, you can have anything from 5 inch to 3 inch backspace really...

    4 inch backspace on a 14 x 8 would be goo to run against a 14 x7 with 3.5 backspace...

    I can confirm that this is indeed quite true.

    I'm going 14" as I had 2 spare GTS centres and while walking through the wrecker I found two 14 x 8 stocko's with stuffed centres for $10.00 ea machined the centres out and welded the GTS ones in with 4.25 inch back space. So for $20.00 I got 2 x 14 x 8's Bargain

    Good job mate, very easy and cheap way to make yourself a set of 14" x 8" GTS wheels..

    The old 14s on the front and 15s on the back does not look good anymore imho 15/7s and 15/8s is a nice look thats what im going for but each to there own.
