Wheel backspacing for '82
I'd like to know how 15x8 Torque Thust II wheels with 3.75" backspacing will fit on an '82 CE. I know they'll move the wheels outward, but how much? I've seen information saying the stock backspacing was 4", 4.5", and also 4.375". So if it's 4.5" stock, how are these going to fit with the wheels moved outward by .75"? I did check the archives but couldn't find anything definite for later C3's. Thanks for any help.

My TTIIs are 15 x 8 with 3.75 BS. They fit perfect-even better than perfect since they push the wheels out 1/4 inch. Looks much improved and 0 interference with anything.
The wheel wells seems filled out better and its noticable.

Stock backspacing is 4". My AR-136 rims are also 15x8 with 3.75 BS. I like them.
