hi i was woundering what the stock wheel bolt pattern is. ive hear 5 on 5 or something but i have no idea what that means. could some one please let me know so i can get some rims!!!! and what does back spacing mean? the higher the number the farthur it sticks out????

James,
The bolt pattern for the LUV is 6 X 5.5. It deciphers as being a 6 -lug pattern with a 5.5" spacing between opposite lugs. The metric equivilent is 6 x 139.7.

Hope this helps

HEY THANKS ALOT!!! DOES ANYONE OUT THERE KNOW WHAT BACKSPACING MEANS??????

Backspacing is the distance from the back of the mounting hub on the rim to the back edge of the rim. On my S10, the wheels I have are made to order, the fronts are 8" wide with a backspacing of 4.5 inches so the rims are about 3.5 inches of space in the front. On the back I can run a wider rim as they dont have to steer and they are 9.5 inches wide with a Backspace of 5.5 inches. You need to know this especially if you are lowering a vehicle so with the right Backspacing the wheels will tuck inside the fenders like in this pic and are not to far in to rub on the control arms, leaf springs or inner fenderwells.

Hope that made sense!!

so if you want the tires to stick out the side just a little(my luv is 4x4, im going to put swampers on it) you want less back spacing? or more?

Less, less backspacing means more front spacing (deeper dish). That would also mean more negative offset which is kind of the metric way of back spacing. Hope that didnt add more conusion to ya.
