[QUOTE=NastyZ;647351]I have read that 5.75 backspace on rear 10" rim is what I need but they only make then in 1/2"....QUOTE]


Fikse makes wheels in 1/8" increments. When you rehoop a wheel you can only rehoop in 1/2" increments. It's true that the wheel halves are only made in 1/2". To be able to do 1/8" increments they machine the backpad of the wheel to match your desired backspacing. If you are being told they can only do 1/2" increments it's because they plan on rehooping the wheels you have. If they can do that and make them fit your car that's great, but if that would compromise your fitment I would make them build you a new wheel that fits your car perfectly. This is all assuming it's their fault your wheels don't fit.

I would do what Gerno said and use those wheels to mock up what you need. I was told to try and get 7/8" clearance on the inside and 3/8" on the outside.
