15's, 16's or 17's? Backspace?

luke-44 07-14-2005 10:11 AM

15" diameter. 7.5" wide fronts, 9.5" rears.

Back spacing is 3 3/4" front & rear.

Effective backspacing dimension would be reduced by 3/8" due to adapter plate thickness. :)

I just saw another post on wheel width - I measured my wheels wrong - they are:
8" fronts
10" rears

The originally posted dimensions were measured inside of lip to inside of lip, like this:

Instead of the correct way, center of lip to center of lip, like this:

Sorry for confusion on the width. **) **)

one last question. what is the inside diameter? I need at least 14 1/4 to clear the Wilwood calipers. My Centerlines taper right where the caliper hits down to 14 and bind. A spacer works, but I would like to put on the correct wheels and will buy yours if there is enough room for these brakes.
thanks.

BTW, Vintage sells that same set for $1695 and will throw in the lead hammer...

luke-44 07-20-2005 06:27 AM

Mzhun - I will get back to you on the clearance. I will measure it tonight.

As for Vintage, those are Vintage wheels, not real Trigos. The Trigo set sells today for $2000.00 - they were $2400.00.

Inside diameter - 14.5" .

Let me know if you want a pic.

Thanks, :)

Perfect. I am guessing that they will fit the standard 4 1/4 Ford bolt pattern.
Will you take 1500 plus shipping?

luke-44 07-21-2005 05:29 PM

Here is a pic of the 14.5" inside diameter.

And here is the pic of the 4.25" bolt patttern. Note the wheels are also drilled for 4.5" centers as well.

Let's call it $1650 plus shipping and we have a deal. :) :)

They are 7.5" and 9.5" wide. You measure wheel width on the inside of the bead, not the outer edges.

That's what I thought too, until I received an email saying I was wrong. Hence I posted the pix to clarify. In any event, the pix tell the story.

Trigo calls them 7.5" and 9.5".

Thanks, :) :)

They are measured where the tire touches the lip, as it is the only way to have a consistant measurement due to varying lip thicknesses.

Bump for you, their great wheels, and I have never regretted for a second buying either set of mine.

mzhun 07-22-2005 11:18 AM

Thanks for the pic. It looks like they taper toward the center like my current wheels. What is the diameter closer to the center? The pic may be deceiving but I have to be sure, thanks!

mzhun 07-22-2005 11:22 AM

BTW, Deal! I will buy them.

luke-44 07-22-2005 05:10 PM

There is a slight taper - at the hub it measures exactly 14". Let me know if you want to proceed. :)

Bruce, sorry I have not called you back yet but I have been put in rather exigent circumstances at work and am traveling through the weekend.
Matt

luke-44 07-28-2005 09:04 AM

hmm...exigent - I got my grammar lesson today - lol.

BTW - I called Trigo and spoke with Lynn Park about the clearance question - he told me the taper and clearance is the same for all 15" Trigos and they will fit with 12" Wilwood brakes - he even has that exact same setup on his own car. :) :)

Bolt Circle measurement
 
Hi Luke
What you have there is actually a 4.5 and 4.75 bolt circle adapter.
To calculate the bolt circle on a 5 lug you measure from the center of #1 stud to the outside of #3 (not the center)
