Hello Gordon,

I just went and measured the backspace on my 13 X 6" Minilites (the same ones as I discussed a few years ago...) and as best as I can measure it the backspace is 10.7 cm (measured by laying a piece of wood across the back of the rim, side to side, wheel off the car, and then using a tape-measure to measure to the nearest point of the back of the "hub" part of the wheel.

The O.P. ("Jolly Jumper") stated "I went for the 100mm backspace".

I think that Minilite produce their wheels with different backspaces. So his set would be 100mm and mine 107mm, or there abouts. Perhaps they're in fact 4 inches (Jolly Jumper's) and 4 1/4 inches (mine), but either way once again "your mileage may vary".

Hope this helps,
Tony
