Hi, anyone know offhand the OEM back spacing on a 15x7 police wheel? Thanks .....sabre67

the one i have sitting here is 4.5" 4.25"

if it matters it's stamped 3766077 at the stem

ETA: i was wrong 72blu was correct it's 4.25. it would help if i used a proper measuring equipment.

I dunno. I was under the impression the 15x7’s were all 4.25”, but Ma Mopar did plenty of weird crap.

Shameless picture of my Duster when it had cop wheels. And still looked like a Duster.

Heavy, Heavy, Heavy Wheels.

Takes power to spin them up and good brakes to slow them down.

you're right. i went back with a proper straight edge and not a shitty tape measure. can't blame beer or being tired on this one. mea culpa.

oh and it was actually 4 5/16, but given the production tolerances they call it 4 1/4

the 15X7 loosie i have here is 27lb

72blu posted up the weights of his aftermarket set ups (18's or 19's i think) and even with some big ol meats they were considerably lighter than the stock rim bare.

Thanks for going back and checking. 4.25 it is for OEM
