Default Need a **QUICK** answer. Will these rims fit?

Guys, Im leaving for a very extended business trip in the morning and Im about to buy these rims.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...TQ:MOTORS:1123

The specs are 4.25 backspacing (my current 15x8's have 4.5, so I think Im good there) however, it also says the rims have -6 offset.....Im not real sure how to measure what kind of offset I can run.

My car is a 72 (with the 82 body....) Will they work?

Hi Scott,
Sorry! It's now tomorrow, so I guess it's too late for a reply.
Have a good trip!
Regards,
Alan

The offset is not a problem. Did you read the auction carefully?
A few points to bring out:
Final price is $400.00 with shipping.
The wheels are daul pattern (10 lug nut holes).
The center caps are plastic and have no logo.
While the price seems great once you get them and see them in person you could be very disappointed with the quality (not trying to be negative just want to bring out there is a reason for the low price).
Good luck with what ever you decide.
