Ordered these to make custome offset wheels for my sons 1965 C10. Couldn't find wider 6 lug wheels that would hold the factory hub caps, so we made our own.

I bought these wheel shells for my 1948 Plymouth. I couldn't find a place that would make custom backspaced wheels at a reasonable cost so I decided to make them myself. Once the centers were placed in the wheels they were checked for runout and trueness. Both ended up being perfect. I'm very happy with the wheel shells, they were exactly what I needed to finish my project.

For project planning, and using the matching center you sell, what are the minimum and maximum backspacings possible in both the 'standard' and 'reversed' shell positions (if it's not equal)? I need this info for the 15x8, 15x10 and 15x12 sizes. Thanks!
