      Measuring for new track wheels

      I want to get a set of the 15" track use steel wheels.

      Here's what I have on the car now on the rear:

      Boyd Junkyard Dog wheel:
      20x8.5"
      Tire is 26 1/2 tall
      5" Backspace (from mounting surface to back lip of wheel)

      In the wheel well, from the mounting surface to the upper fender lip, I have 4 3/4" of room. From the surface to the inside edge of the wheel well at the front, I have 6"



      Would this size wheel fit?
      15x10" wheel with 5" OFFSET

      Is offset from the front of the lip to the mounting surface of the tire?

      If I want the tire to sit inside the wheel well a bit, do I want a larger or smaller offset?




      Do I need to measure anything else to make sure I get the order right the first time?

      Any vendors here sell this type of racing wheel?
