Default Staggard Wheels

Bought wheels for our Cadillac CTS. Will not Fit. They are Ruff Racing 278 staggered 20s. I figured that out by coming here and researching on Google. Any help? What do these fit?

Moving this to the Other Cars section, but you're going to have to provide a lot more information than you have - like offset, backspacing, lug spacing, etc.

Do you mean "turn", as in change direction of the car (front wheel), or "turn", as in rotate wheel when attached to the car?

I will have to do some more measuring. Learning as I go. Not a clue about tire fitment. Thanks for the help.

You're going to need to become more familiar with wheel terminology. That's 6" backspacing, as offset, is the distance the face of the mounting pad is (offset), from the centerline of the rim.

Personally, I wish the wheel manufacturers would agree to use ONE term, either backspacing or offset, but not both! It gets confusing.....


(In the case of the wheel you pictured, it has approximately 1.5" of offset.)

Thank you. Sold them to some guy said he was pitting them on a Chevy full size van. I told him I was skeptical. But he said he would put spacers and make them work.
