Calling all wheel builders, refinishers and offset masters... Help Needed!!!

So, I'm trying to sell a set of wheels that I purchased a while back.

The wheels were originally 20x8.5 +44 all around. They were rebuilt by another user on G35Driver and the 2 inch outer lips were replaced with 4 inch polished lips up front and 4.5 inch polished lips in the rear.

However, I re-measured them and the front lip is 4.5 inches and the rear lip appears to be 5.0 inches. Faces appear to be sandwich mounted. The wheels still have original Work inner barrels with stickers,

Original sticker states 20x8.5+44

here is the front wheel width:

measurement of front lip size:

front wheel backspace measurement:

rear wheel width:

rear wheel lip size:

rear wheel backspacing:

So what I'm asking is if any wheel re-finishers, wheel builders, and/or offset masters can calculate and verify these wheel specs for me.

Thanks,

You're measure the lips wrong. Measure bead to bead, those are 4 and 4.5" lips.

Front.

OW 12"
BS 6.65?
Half overall width 6.

Subtract 6 from 6.65 you get .65, multiply by 25.4 (conversion to mm) = 16.51mm

Front wheel is 11 +16

Rear
OD 12.5
BS 6.65?
Half overall width 6.25
6.65-6.25= .40x25.4= 10.16

Rear is 11.5 +10

I'm guessing at the back spacing, if you disagree with the 6.65 then just adjust the number accordingly.

Also, SEARCH.

Thanks for the reply,

i did search, but i wanted to confirm my measurements.

my initial measurements were wrong, so i remeasured and calculated and they are more similar to your measurements now.

i calculated 11+12 and an 11.5+7, using a 6.5 backspace.

so thanks again for your help.
