CM Upgrade Wheels

I would like to upgrade my wheels to some of the newer thin spoke chrome that I see on newer Vetts. I see many take offs for sale. How can I tell what will fit my car without using adapters? It's a 1990 Auto Vert.

Hi there,
The back spacing is what you are looking for.

I personally use a tape measure from the mounting flange of the wheel, to the inner edge of the rim.

Take that measurement and do that to the rims you want and see how close they are.

Allthebest, c4c5
